Kyrie Irving Apologizes for Telling Reporter "F*** Thanksgiving", Stems from Native American Heritage

Kyrie Irving apologizes for telling a reporter, "F*** Thanksgiving", after a recent basketball game.

Meant no disrespect to the Holiday and those who celebrate it respectfully. I’m grateful for the time We all can share with our families. We are always ONE. 🔺👁

If you aren't aware, Irving is very in tune with his native American heritage due to his mother being a descendent if the Standing Rock tribe. He has the tribe's logo tatted, has protested with other native Americans and has even taken part in a Sioux naming ritual in South Dakota and was given the name Little Mountain. So it makes complete sense why he doesn't celebrate, therefore, he is apologizing for only the manner in which he says it.
