NYC Mandate: Kyrie Irving Eligibility Discussion

[Stone]

This is GREAT news !!!!..........I didn't think was going to happen. It was the right thing to do for everyones sake. NYC needs to "reopen" and people that spend there hard earned money at the Clays aren't get ripped off.

[Marvin Martian]

So the mandate stays for private sector employees, unvaccinated city workers don't get their jobs back but Kyrie and other millionaire athletes are allowed an exemption? This is wrong.

[Ksny13]

With the mandate lifted Brooklyn should be the 2nd favorite in the East closely behind Milwaukee. Even with Nash and his deficiencies.

The amount of concern trolling you're constantly spewing is annoying as hell.

[Prokorov]

Oh ****! This is the best birthday gift Kyrie could ask for.

Lets. F*CKING. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

this is enormous for us down the stretch. we needed this to stay out of the 9/10 seed. its about effing time.

[Prokorov]

Steve Cohen has noted over $1M to Adams campaign. Multiple Mets are unvaxxed.

Follow the money

I imagine that phone call had Adams saying lots of "yes sir. Will do sir. Of course sir".

Joe Tsai needs to learn how to play the game better. I knew that Adams was going to get punked.

yeah, adams didnt want that MLB smoke... thats old school money/ways of doing things. shady and deep ties.

[Prokorov]

I love how this only applies to athletes and entertainers. I lost even more respect for him now. Lift it all together. Other states are laughing at us.

**** the city workers, teachers, janitors and people who pay hard earned money to these venues is what Eric Adams Apple is telling us.

i said from day 1 the mandate was trash, biased, inconsistently applied, etc...

adams is a moron. he is pandering. which is great for nets fans but sucks for the general NY public. people can point to the athletes and owners but its really all on adams. the mandate should be lifted. let the businesses police vaccines for their employees how they see fit.

no one cares about you and your trolling takes.

1) why would city workers get their jobs back? they are public workers and this is a private employer mandate. apples and oranges, go kick rocks with this horse crap comparison

2) whats wrong isnt athletes getting an exemption. whats wrong is that they and others were even held out to begin with for a mandate that spit in the face of science.

Go take your fugazy concern trolling back to the rock you crawled out from under

Athletes getting an exemption isn't wrong? You are nuts. There is no science backing up mandate lifting for only allowing performers and athletes. None whatsoever.

Mandates spit in the face of science when it is not consistent, which right now they are not. The rich are adhering to a different science than everyone else. It is not a coincidence that the move was made when MLB opening day is around the corner and the NBA playoffs is starting soon. That is wrong.

Whats wrong is kyrie being targeted unfairly for months. justice served. more is still needed.

either way, your choices are shut up and deal with

[GTR11]

Huge news, even though it probably won't change seeding for us now. It will make difference if we lose to 7th seed.

Yep. The Nets and Papa Joe tried to play it nice with Adams. Which I get. But pigs like Adams don't respect nice. They respect power.

Once Adams' foolishness hit the door step of the Steinbrenners and Steve Cohen, who already paid Adams off 9 months ago, I bet those conversations with the reps of the Yankees, Mets, and MLB were on a whole other level.

They didn't ask him to end the player mandate. They told him to.

[MrDollarBills]

Regarding the conversation about city employees vs private sector, i get the outrage.

Me personally, I don't put entertainers performing in private venues on the same level as teachers or people working in public health settings. I think if you are working in close contact with people who are vulnerable or children, you absolutely need to be vaccinated. No ifs ands or buts. That is not up for debate. If someone is immuno compromised they should not be in a city hospital being attended to by someone who is not vaccinated. That is a life or death situation. You don't play that game. That is a lot different from Kyrie being unvaxxed and playing basketball games where he is tested stringently every day. It's apples and oranges.

Now if we are talking cops and firefighters, or city maintenance workers, i would have suggested that anyone who didn't want to get vaccinated should submit to a weekly testing standard at their own expense as a condition of employment, but Adams chose to fire them like a week before the data indicated that it was okay to lift certain restrictions. I think that was rash and he should at least offer those who were dismissed a pathway back to employment as long as they agree to stringent testing for as long as they data says that they need to be tested.

However, knowing full well that Covid has been the leading killer of cops in NYC over the last two years, i really don't feel sorry for any of the dumbass pigs who got fired over a vaccine because that's just being stupid.

[NetsWorld]

Mills has hit a wall and Johnson is really hurting us and I hate when he plays yolo. I personally believe this will come back to bite us in the ass. Griffin should at least take Johnson's minutes in the rotation; Nash's infatuation with Johnson's dribbling boggles my mind. The bench and rotations have to be more solid to win in the playoffs. Mills/Johnson are the two biggest reasons we lost the game. And I am quiet tired of Johnson trying to show off when this team is trying to win a ring.

This may have something to do with Tsai's lack of influence. Note: Cohen donated $1.5mil to the Adams campaign.

No private employer mandate doesnt mean no vaccine restrictions it just means you are leaving it up to the employer.

The city IS the public workers employer and they are saying you need to be vaxxed.

the mandate should just include a clause for taking reasonable measures for the unvaxxed. teachers/healthcare are around kids who cant be vaxxed yet (under 5) and immunocompromised patients. being tougher on them makes sense. if you are immunocompromised or under 5 at a nets game its on you. thats a risk choice you are making. going to school or the hospital isnt really a choice. need to protect those spaces.

Yeah i think at this phase, the private sector should police themselves. That's sensible and the city is vaccinated out the wazoo as is.

When it comes to schools and hospitals, there should be zero tolerance. Children and immunocompromised people take priority. They must be protected.

It says a lot about Adams that basically bribery is what gets him to make a common sense move.
