Charles Barkley on Kyrie Irving: ‘This Thing with Free Speech Has Gotten out of Hand’

EXCERPT:

BARKLEY: "That’s a great question, Don. People have the right to feel and say what they want to. We have freedom of speech. But there are repercussions when you say certain things. And, listen, I don’t know Kyrie Irving. I don’t know if he’s a good guy or a bad guy. I think he’s been suspended, rightfully so. And I think he should come back and play in the NBA. But, you know, that’s a really slippery slope because, you know, people always talk about freedom of speech, freedom of you say whatever you want to. But there are repercussions. I mean, he’s paying for that right now. But this thing with free speech has really gotten out of hand, Don. You just can't go around insulting people and think it's okay just because it's freedom of speech."
