Good for him.

Has there ever been a player in NBA history who disliked playing basketball as much as Kyrie?

The more he talks, the dumber he sounds. As if being against vaccine mandates that are inarguably necessary to control COVID isn’t being aunt-Vax.

So, he's not anti-vaccine. His position is that he, a pro-vax person, will let down his teammates as a gesture to support those who are anti-vax and are losing their jobs.

One could not make this stuff up.

The Nets were an entertaining team filled with young talent before they blew it all away for the Superteam Circus.

I agree with Kyrie on this one. No one should lose their job because they don't want or feel the need to get vaccinated. There are more reasons for it outside of some conspiracy theory. The problem is Kyrie is TOTALLY whack in a lot of his opinions that he has nothing to stand on when he talks.

In fact run by the same political party who was in power when that happened, same party who locked up Japanese Americans who'd done nothing but be Japanese in 1941, same party that created the KKK. Need I say more?

wait what? We still have the same people in our Federal Government that we had 50 to 90 years ago? Same people in our political parties as 1941? :banghead:

"wacko", indeed!!

This thread really brought out the dumdums. It's a solid case on why we need an emphasis on free/affordable mental healthcare.

No, the guy is a idiot just pushing anti-vax talking points. if you are choosing to put others health and safety at risk for no other reason besides I don't wanna...then yeah you shouldn't be able to work. If you work remotely due to your choice to be unvaccinated, you should be the one to pay for the additional costs to the company.

If you choose to refuse not to drink before driving guess what you probably shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Anyone that needs or, just the like the vaccine is available for free to everyone.

You can smoke if you want. You can't smoke at work anymore because it damages other people. This is a company policy.
You can not get the vaccine if you want. You have to get the vaccine to work around other people or it will damage other people. This is a company policy.

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.

Eric Bieniemy · Post #55 » by **Eric Bieniemy** » Wed Oct 13, 2021 5:51 am

Why is it okay to call this guy and others who feel similarly negative names?

Fool, idiot, dumb, stupid ... There's a whole lot of one-way violence here it seems.

When someone says that they're not anti-vax they mean that they support other people's decision to get vaccinated, that they don't have a problem with others being vaccinated.

The one-way violence occurs when people who have taken the shots express vitriol toward others who have not.

There is clearly more hate coming from one side, and hate from either side is just not cool at all.

Even in this forum, I wonder if it would even be allowed to call vaccinated people stupid, dumb, idiotic fools. I've seen "sheep" thrown around toward the vaccinated, and that's also not cool.

Name calling is so basic and simple-minded.

Very selfish move by Kyrie, and now he's doing the flat-earth response. Harden & Durant are prob already on the phone with John Wall or Simmons. NBA 1, Kyrie 0. I'm not calling the man any names, but I strongly question his reasoning for pissing away a season where his team could win a championship. Marcus Smart did not want the shot, but he got it so as not to be a distraction to his TEAM. Smart certainly isn't the scoring savant Kyrie is, but he's a much better team-mate.

Comments here just show how narrow minded and gullible USA people are, if the government says eat a ****, its good for you? You would all do it?? Looks like it, or at least 98% LOL

COVID exists yes, it can be dangerous for some yes, does vaccine protects you from it? **** Noo! are there a lot of serious side effects from vaccines, even deaths, **** yes, sadly!
Was Covid natural? of course not! Its bio terrorism from the you know who, just opened your damn minds.. This is as dumb as it gets.. Similar to 9/11,inside job, clear as big elephants ass - but maybe its easier to see and comprehend to outsider than people in US..
Taxes are fine too, ha? For small people.. But FED can print trillions of USD out of thin air for certain companies, people etc etc lol

Be a hero in the offseason Kyrie, not now. It makes no sense to do your activism when it hurts your teammates.
