“I am doing what’s best for me. I know the consequences here and if it means that I’m judged and demonized for that, that’s just what it is,” Irving said. “That’s the role I play, but I never wanted to give up my passion, my love, my dream just over this mandate.” “So what? It’s not about the money,” Irving said. “It’s not always about the money. It’s about choosing what’s best for you. You think I really want to lose money?”
If he is willing to give up $100m dollars for what he believes, good for him.

Kyrie Irving skips COVID-19 jab and benches himself - for nowHemmed in by a New York City COVID-19 vaccine mandate that covers pro athletes and would have limited Kyrie Irving to playing road games only, the Brooklyn Nets gave him an ultimatum: a.) get the shot or b.) take the 2021-22 season off. The media loves outing anyone who does not conform. If you had to pick an athlete to personify the anti-vax movement this seems about right. Great decision. He stood up for what he believed in. A feat only a few could do.

It is sad and disappointing michaelgrange Great decision to not let him play. These athletes are not above the game and need a reality check. Hopefully he’s not getting paid.
