Kyrie Irving Megathread: [Latest] NETS Will Not Offer Irving $186M Extension

[Curmudgeon]

Meh. When thy start fining him and docking his pay for the games he misses Kyrie will reluctantly get vaccinated while all the time railing against the "police state."

[KnicksGadfly]

Heard the Nets are planning not to offer him an extension.

I mean, why would you offer money to someone who randomly takes days off and is now missing a season while threatening to retire if traded?

Do people who agree with Kyrie ever sit around and think, why are we in constant agreement with the dumbest people in the world?

I mean, if I looked around and was surrounded by flat earthers and loons, I’d start to rethink if maybe I’m on the wrong side.

[KnicksGadfly]

Nets should be groveling at Kyrie’s feet and fawning over him if they want him to get the shot, not trying to play hardball

I often wonder this

kyrie irving is not an intelligent or educated person. he's very stupid. it's different if a smart and educated person takes a position that is different than the mainstream.

More than 70% of black folks in NYC have chosen not to get vaccinated. So are you saying they’re the dumbest people in the world? GTFO with your elitist bullcrap.

Ridiculous take. Why would the Nets, or any team for that matter, ever do that? This isn't a game - this is a serious issue coming off a very deadly pandemic. One player out of the entire team is refusing to get the vaccine - you don't set the precedent by catering to that one player - no matter who it is.

He went to Duke, not that it **** matters his degree of education. Lots of scientists agree with his view but they don’t get airtime on MSNBC.

I think black people are more likely to not believe medical authority and the system in general. It's caused by the way they were/are treated. Still, it's a shame it's that way as they've been hit by covid worst than white or Asian people.

Educated people are also more likely to get the vaccine and unfortunately, systematic inequality also isn't helping in this case.

A small study just came out saying that people who refuse the vaccine are also more likely to be bad at judging risk. They have a tendency to see things equally even if one thing is more dangerous than another.

He doesn't believe in Science. Millions have died and this is the hill that Kyrie dies on just to make a point about mandates. If anything NY and CA are the only two states keeping people safe!! Mandate should be the norm.

Where on earth did you get this statistic? It's just 100% false and not even close to being true.

Dude. There are very smart and wealthy people in the Brooklyn organization. How the hell can the owner and NBA require staff to get vaccine, but now Kyrie is standing up....we will allow him -- just him -- to be different. The rest of the org might walk out. Kyrie is a talent for the organization, but I really think they are done with him personally.

Not to mention that Blacksheep25's comment had absolutely nothing to do with Kyrie's skin colour.

I assume he meant '[young] black folks in NYC' (18-44)

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/12/nyregion/covid-vaccine-black-young-new-yorkers.html

City data shows that only 28 percent of Black New Yorkers ages 18 to 44 years are fully vaccinated, compared with 48 percent of Latino residents and 52 percent of white residents in that age group.

Kyrue is intelligent, but he has a contrarian personality. He is your crazy uncle on thanksgiving and he really doesn't like being told what to do, or even suggested.

There are a lot of people like Kyrie out there who are against the vaccine simply because people they don't like are for it. He's absolutely craazy guy.
