Rabbis Forced to Remove ‘I’m a Jew and I’m Proud’ Signs During NBA Game
"NBA star Kyrie Irving saw the sign and said there’s ‘no need to bring that to a game.'
"A group of Utah rabbis were told to remove signs that read 'I’m a Jew and I’m proud' from a professional basketball game on Monday night because they were distracting the players."
"Rabbi Avremi Zippel and three other rabbis brought the signs to the Delta Center to watch the home-team Utah Jazz face the Dallas Mavericks. The signs were meant to protest Kyrie Irving, now a Mavericks player, who was suspended in 2022 by a former team for tweeting a link to a movie widely considered to be antisemitic. He initially refused to disavow the film."

Is this the same NBA that had a gigantic "Black Lives Matters" sign painted on their courts? Funny how that didn't manage to "distract the players"!
