Nice choice of words it's not perceived it's in your face real.


If I were Kyrie, I would negotiate a contract buyout and sign next season with a team that is not in a state that forces things upon you.


He should go to Europe where he can just focus on basketball, real basketball in pure from and proper rules, without all these media clowns. NBA is a sinking ship, it's not the only basketball league in the world.

Anyone ask David Blaine if he is vaccinated?

Someone not wanting to inject themselves with something isn't a conspiracy. I wonder if you also call fat people conspiracy theorist? Considering being fat goes against what decades of scientific research tells us about how destructive it is to long term health. What about drinkers? Are they conspiracy theorist too? Why don't they do the 'right' thing and live healthier. Damn conspiracy theorist. :crazy:

Kyrie clearly stated to his circle he is anti-control, not anti-vaccine. And this vaccine is getting pushed harder than the invasion of Iraq back in 2002. Thank God he has a choice. If it was up to the government and all the sheep, he'd be strapped down and injected I'm sure.


Lol what? My man, I wish you an expedient recovery. Hope you come back to reality one day. you may think you sound smart but I can assure you, you lack logic. I just want to let you know that I can hear the desperation in your argument to sound smart. I really really hope you grow up one day. Wish you all the best.

He can't, you need to be vaccinated too. Unless he goes to some eastern europe country.

Kudos to Kyrie Irving. These vaccine mandates are borderline authoritarian if not already there.

Guys it's okay to switch sides on something. Right is right and wrong is wrong. When did America have this cult like behavior? Kyrie can be right on some things and wrong on some things. Just because he was wrong on something you believed in before doesn't mean you gotta "cancel" him forever.

I swear the whole hate towards Trump and his supporters has really created a cult like behavior in the states. Whatever looks like it opposes Trump or someone who supports him people join in with no questions ask. Wake up people.

Nobody should be forced to take the vaccine. If you want protection then take it, if you don't then that's fine too.

Kyrie's whole schtick has little to do with the vaccine or mandates. That's just his latest talking point. If there was no pandemic, he'd have found some other cause to avoid playing basketball.

He's the type of guy who, if you tell him the sky is blue today, he'll try to argue that it's actually red and the concept of "blue" is just something that scientists have foisted upon society as a form of mind control. Or that birds can't really fly, they are just lighter than air so they float.

Ben Simmons dug a hole so deep that I thought he'd never get out, but he suddenly reappeared, ready to go. It remains to be seen if Kyrie can find a lifeline, and then whether or not he uses it to climb out of his hole or just make a bigger noose.

He's entitled to do what he wants but his cost benefit analysis doesn't make sense to me.
He'll probably flip back just like he did on flat earth.

Vaccine mandates are nothing new.

Kyrie should just retire and then write a book or something.

Interesting.

I've never had a restaurant or sporting event ask for my polio vaccine. Hell I've never had a job ask to see my chicken pox vaccine either. Guess I've just been fortunate.

Well its a different day and age today. New generations of people :-? . On top of that its totally different circumstances. Still the mandate part of getting the vaccine is nothing new.

But I'm not here to argue whether you are for or against vaccine mandates. If Kyrie wants to play then get it. If he doesn't then retire. He's always been me first over team. He wants you to think he wants to take a stand for the people but he really is just taking a stand for himself. He doesn't like being controlled. Just take your stand Kyrie and retire. Let your team move on.

Actually I think this does the opposite. Now he can’t get the shot. Before if it was just about “doing research” he could have changed his mind. Now he is the social defender of all the unvaccinated lol. He has to stick to his guns here.


As long as this clown is not paid a cent for games missed, I am ok supporting his view...

He shouldn't be forced into taking a rushed vaccine.

The same people who told us they would never consider taking a Trump vaccine are the ones now force feeding it down peoples throats. They've made this political from day 1. I don't blame Kyrie one bit.

Ok I see where you stand and I have no interest in arguing that. But Kyrie isn't the only one being forced fed here. Fine, don't blame him. Just retire then.

That is the issue though. Why retire if you don't support these insane mandates? If there was any science behind it then fine, but this is all a fake show.

Its okay for away teams non vaccinated players to come play in Brooklyn, but not for Kyrie? Where is the logic there?
People with the vaccine can get/transmit the virus, but they dont have to be tested? Where is the logic there?
Kyrie can be tested daily and ensure that he is covid free but that isn't acceptable? Where is the logic there?
Why can't he get antibody testing to confirm that he has natural immunity?

Why should he retire because the city of Brooklyn decided to be inconsistent. I'm cashing my checks and sitting at home if I'm Kyrie.

No one is forcing this guy to get a vaccine. The government isn't controlling you. There are plenty of jobs you can get if you want to be selfish and not get a vaccine.

Tired of this topic and how many idiots come out the woodwork.


no no one is forcing you, you just can’t keep your job or do all the regular stuff you used to do before covid. no one is forcing you, you just will have a hard time surviving if you don’t. not a force, a mandate. it’s different. riiiiighht
