From the woke joke of the NFL to the woke joke of the NBA, the China first league, Kyrie Irving has been cancelled, or banned from playing with his team, the Brooklyn Nets because of his refusal to take the vaccine. Not like I care or whatever, as I stopped watching the NBA when they sold out to China. But it’s still funny to watch professional sports leagues and arrogant millionaire players fight over things like the vaccine. I don’t think Kyrie Irving is exactly some MAGA Trump supporter either, like the media tries to claim all anti-vaxxers are.
I’m not taking sides on this one. I don’t like the NBA and I certainly can’t stand the arrogant millionaire players.
The NBA’s Brooklyn Nets have officially banned Kyrie Irving from the team over his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The team announced Tuesday that the star point guard will be barred from joining the team for both practices and games until he decides to comply with vaccination protocols.“Given the evolving nature of the situation and after thorough deliberation, we have decided Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant,” Marks said in a statement.
“Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose. Currently, the choice restricts his ability to be a full-time member of the team, and we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability. It is imperative that we continue to build chemistry as a team and remain true to our long-established values of togetherness and sacrifice,” the general manager continued.
“Our championship goals for the season have not changed, and to achieve these goals each member of our organization must pull in the same direction. We are excited for the start of the season and look forward to a successful campaign that will make the borough of Brooklyn proud,” he added.
