If like Adam Silver he joins Kyrie Irving on the fact that he finds it ridiculous to require New York players to be vaccinated to play at home when their unvaccinated opponents can play any game without problem, the Mayor of the Big Apple Eric Adams explained, in a speech and then during an interview on the set of American television CNBC, that he could not afford to make an exception for a single player.
” That does not make any sense. I don’t know who put up such a ridiculous rule where unvaccinated players from other teams can come and play but unvaccinated New York players can’t. But these are the rules and I have to follow them. If I don’t, I’m not sending the right message. Employees of city businesses are affected by these vaccination obligations, just like those of the city. And believe me, I’m the first to want to see Kyrie on the pitch. If we are here today, in a city that is open again, it is thanks to these vaccination mandates. We cannot afford to close the city. » Eric Adams on the set of CNBC
After the Nets game on Saturday, Kyrie Irving reacted :
“Big up to Eric Adams, man. It’s not an easy job being mayor of New York. […] I appreciate his statements and his position. He knows mine. I know that one day we can break bread together and he can come to the games and I hope we forget all this like it never happened. I’m just grateful he’s on my side, as is our commissioner (Adam Silver)” Kyrie Irving
What if the leader, who still refuses to be vaccinated, did not play any home game this season?
“Now we’re playing the ‘waiting game’ bro. I wait just as much as you. »Kyrie Irving
