On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that shoe giant Nike has cut ties with Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving, shortly after the team itself suspended him after he promoted an anti-Semitic film.

"'At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism,' the company said in a statement announcing its decision late Friday," reported Alec Karam. "The company said it will no longer be launching the Kyrie 8 show."
