Far-left activist basketball icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar thinks that one of the strongest advocates of personal choice, Kyrie Irving, needs to be more like Colin Kaepernick, who in his mind ‘improved society.’
“Kyrie Irving would be dismissed as a comical buffoon if it weren’t for his influence over young people who look up to athletes. When I look at some of the athletes who have used their status to actually improve society – Colin Kaepernick, LeBron James, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russel, Billie Jean King, Arthur Ashe, and more – it becomes clear how much Irving has tarnished the reputations of all athletes who strive to be seen as more than dumb jocks,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote.
