The NBA won’t take any action against the player who made Kanye like statements.

They also don’t do anything against the country that is committing genocide against a group of people because they are too big of a market to upset.

Kyrie Irving raises eyebrows with tweet to movie filled with anti-Semitic disinformation

Kyrie Irving has put himself in the middle of another controversy.

The Nets star raised eyebrows Thursday with a tweet and Instagram story that included an Amazon page marketing — and tacitly endorsing — a 2018 film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” that has been described as filled with anti-Semitic disinformation.

The film is based on a 2015 book by the same name.

Rolling Stone called the film and book “venomously anti-Semitic,” citing statements within claiming “many famous high-ranking Jews” have “admitted” to “worship[ing] Satan or Lucifer.”

A Nets spokesperson told The Post: “The Brooklyn Nets strongly condemn and have no tolerance for the promotion of any form of hate speech. We believe that in these situations, our first action must be open, honest dialogue. We thank those, including the ADL [Anti-Defamation League], who have been supportive during this time.”

Later in the night, Nets owner Joe Tsai also weighed in on Twitter.

“I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation,” Tsai tweeted. “I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion.
