Summary

As NBA star Kyrie Irving continues to serve a suspension for his social media post, he’s finally receiving support from some of the most unlikely sources. LeBron James issued a statement on Twitter calling for Kyrie to be reinstated, and ESPN basketball analyst Jay Williams released a long video defending Irving and free speech. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim joins Jason to discuss what it means to see an ESPN employee speak out in support of Kyrie and the potential ramifications of J-Will’s comments on his future employment. Plus, Jason reveals the true reason he was let go from the four-letter network. In today’s episode of Tennessee Harmony, Jason, Pastor Anthony Walker, and T.J. Moe discuss America’s reaction to the thoughts, beliefs, and tweets of Kyrie Irving and Kanye West and what it reveals about the relationship between secular society and fear.
