NBA and NBAPLA (his fellow unions executives) are in agreement that Kyrie Irving’s position and actions have repeatedly violated the “Terms and Agreement” of the executed contract

From Logan Murdock of The Ringer:
Brown tells me that he still believes that Irving's punishment was unjust, not because he agrees with the content of the film, but because the suspension violated the collective bargaining agreement.
"That's my job as vice president of the union," Brown says. "The union is supposed to be an entity to protect the players, especially their rights and their freedom of speech. I feel like what the Brooklyn Nets did—I still feel the same way—it was inappropriate. I think it was like a public ransom note almost, in a sense, where he had a list of demands he had to do to return to the game. It was a violation of our CBA. It's a violation of our agreement and kind of got looked over like it was nothing."
