Gordon Monson: Kyrie Irving’s rep denies he complained about rabbis’ signs, but no one should deny this

Rabbi Avremi Zippel’s message on a sign — “I’m a Jew and I’m proud” — shouldn’t have been banned at a Utah Jazz game, The Tribune columnist writes.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Prominent Utah Rabbi Avremi Zippel, and some family and friends brought signs reading "I'm a Jew and I'm proud" to Monday's Utah Jazz game, in response to anti-Semitic comments from Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (11). Zippel said Jazz and Delta Center security subsequently instructed them not to display the signs, following a complaint by Irving, on Monday, January 1, 2024.
