Nets Announce Kyrie Irving Won't Play At All Until He Can Participate Fully

[arasu]

Over 2.5 billion people are fully vaccinated if you choose to be in the minority and the rest of society moves on without you than that’s your choice and your consequences.

No. Unfortunately the consequences fall on all of us. It’s largely because of knuckleheads like Kyrie that this current lockdown exists in the first place.

Your comment is so ridiculously uninformed, I wonder if you can actually function in daily activities. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just severely brainwashed and otherwise intelligent enough.

[arasu]

I knew the Nets would give him an ultimatum, but didn't expect it this soon. Props to the organization, I'm sure while KD and Harden have their own feelings regarding Kyrie, they'd just like this distraction to be over and done with. If Kyrie is going to continue on this pointless crusade, they should move on without him.

Only totalitarian violent extremists think it's pointless.

Please teach us. We are thirsty for your wisdom.

LOLOLOL

Control of what ?

All the vaccinated people/players still have full control of their life.

You are drinking too much of the republican koolaid

LOL

"not science"

This rule makes no sense, so stop pretending it's about covid/health. Unvaccinated players can play in "private business building" to practice as if covid doesn't work there. They can also play on the road, just not on their home court. All of these players agreed to do covid test, so the risk to anyone is minimal. It's about control, not science.

Only a brainwashed fool would make this political, especially blaming Republicans. The fact that you've been brainwashed by totalitarian propaganda doesn't mean that others have. Skepticism is the opposite of being brainwashed. It's always brainwashed people, such as yourself, who lash out at unbelievers with false accusations, and by definition skepticism isn't externally created.

Kyrie is actually helping the Nets with his stance. I'm sure BRK wished they could be done with Kyrie through all his flakiness over the past two seasons.

[moocow007]

this Celtic fan is just shocked, shocked that Kyrie is having a hard time finding his way in this world

I see what you did.

You're not interested in wisdom. Informing people who are incapable of questioning their own confirmation bias is an exercise in futility. You are just looking for someone to speak rationally towards you, so you can lash out at that unbeliever and feel emotionally satisfied. Good luck with that.

Now that's just silly!

A totalitarian extremist would mock people who oppose them.

I don't know about the rest of you... but I'm still thirsty.

So would a smart ass when addressing someone who labels anyone with different beliefs a "totalitarian violent extremists."

Seriously, say it out loud. Doesn't it sound ridiculous? I mean, clearly you and I have a difference of opinion, but I have no idea who you are or what you're about. You could be cool; I have no idea... but you already have me pegged. I'm a "totalitarian violent extremists."

Thirsty for power? Yes, typical of extremists like yourself.

[Public_Enemy101]

What a pinhead!

[HighRyzer83]

No one cares about your *** opinion wether or not he should be forced into vaccination. That's his choice and his problem. But I do have 2 questions.

1. Does Kyrie get paid under contract? Because technically he's not refusing to play. The nets are refusing to play him.

2. Why not just trade him instead of dragging him and your organization through the mud?

Yeah 11 LOLs certainly make your scientific argument valid here. Now you can go back to playing with crayons.

I didn't claim that you are such a person in the "mock people" post, only that such a person would behave as such. If you prefer not to be confused with such people, maybe don't act as they do. Once it was clear that you woulud continue with the mocking and derision, I concluded that you are exactly what I thought you might be, an extremist.

And no, it's not an opinion. The past 19 months or so has been characterized by totalitarian extremism across the world, by definition. Making a claim that matches a definition isn't an opinion. Many people are okay with totalitarianism, but many of those same people take issue with being labeled as such. If you fit the bill, own it.

[Rip32]

Stand strong Kyrie

[arasu]

Having a wacky contrarian like Kyrie take his stand here is not especially helpful to the rational folks who have legitimate skepticism towards current medical propaganda. There's a huge difference between a skeptic and a contrarian, where contrarians often find themselves deep in "conspiracy theory" territory, while skeptics reject such things. Unfortunately the lay person doesn't really understand the difference, and it appears that there is a concerted political effort to lump skeptics and contrarians into the same "conspiracy theorist" category, consequently destroying societal acceptance of rational thought itself, a pillar of the modern advancements that have brought us so much comfort and relative peace.

When I said "opinion" I really meant that you are wrong, but I'm OK with it. I don't know you so I won't label you, but I'm sure some would label you a wakadoo conspiracy nut. Not me... because I don't know you and I don't like to generalize.

But let me ask you:
Should Kyrie be required to wear pants in New York?
Should he be allowed to urinate in public?
Smoke on an Airplane?
Drive 100 mph through your neighborhood?

So some mandates are OK... but only if you understand them? Got it!
