He thought he could PR their way out of this.
Then, Irving doubled down, played victim, refused to apologize, then wouldn't even return the owner's calls.
I don't think this decision was based on enlightened thinking. They had no choice.
The sports media is on fire over this. It wasn't just going to go away.
