IRVING APOLOGIZES TO TEACHERS
Kyrie Irving offered a simple message to science teachers Monday. “I’m sorry,” the Boston Celtics star said. And with that, Irving made clear that he regrets publicly saying the Earth is flat.
Speaking at the Forbes Under 30 summit in Boston, the flat-Earth topic Irving inserted himself into last year was discussed, and the NBA all-star point guard said he didn’t realize the effect his claim would have once it went public.
“To all the science teachers, everybody coming up to me like, ‘You know I’ve got to re-teach my whole curriculum?’ I’m sorry,” Irving said, as the room attending his session laughed. “I apologize. I apologize.”
Irving said he’s since learned certain thoughts are best kept in “intimate conversations.” The whole saga started in February 2017, when Irving questioned whether the Earth is flat on a podcast.
