Nike has suspended its relationship with Kyrie Irving after a week where the Brooklyn Nets star was embroiled in an anti-Semitism row.



It also said it will not launch the Kyrie 8s later this month - the shoe designed by the player and company.



A Nike statement said: 'We believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism.



To that end, we've made the decision to suspend out relationship with Kyrie Irving and will no longer launch the Kyrie 8.



'We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone.'



Irving was suspended by the team Thursday night 'until he satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct,' as he refused to answer whether he held any anti-Semitic beliefs following the sharing of an anti-Semitic film on his Twitter account.







He don't have to answer shit!

He can play ball again, but the Jews have insisted that he fulfill these obligations first:



-- Irving must apologize for posting a link to a documentary containing antisemitic material. He also must condemn the movie.

-- Irving must make a $500,000 donation to anti-hate causes.

-- Irving must receive sensitivity training.

-- Irving must take training to educate himself on antisemitism.

-- Irving must meet with the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish leaders.

-- Irving must meet with Nets owner Joseph Tsai to demonstrate his understanding of the issues.
