New York Mayor Eric Adams will reportedly revoke the "vaccine authorization for performers and athletes" on Thursday US time, which also means that unvaccinated players like Kyrie Irving will be eligible to play for the Nets in home games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
It also means that unvaccinated players in the New York Yankees and Mets squads are eligible for home games after the START OF MLB season in April:
Due to the refusal to vaccinate, Kyrie Owen has not played any home game for the Nets so far this season, and some time ago, Irving was allowed to enter the home game, which also caused heated discussion, and even the Nets superstar Kevin Durant has publicly called out to the mayor of New York:
Then, after Kyrie Irving is allowed to play in the home game, he will be able to return to the game as early as next Monday Beijing time for the Nets home game against the Hornets. The Nets have even begun to build momentum for Irving's home debut on social media:
"Nets fans, when Irving first showed up at home and was in the starting lineup, I needed Barclays Center to have louder cheers than ever before, I needed 17,000 fans to scream and chant his name, to tell him about our love and support, to tell him how much he was missed."
However, some media have questioned Irving's "efforts" throughout the season:
"As a Nets fan, I'm excited to see Irving play at home and we finally have a chance to win the damn home game. But he's also really a hypocrite because he claims he will rally a minority against vaccine licensing, but now it turns out he's only granting granted immunity for privileged people. ”
In terms of results, Irving's "protests" so far this season have indeed only won privileges for special groups such as athletes and performers, and the situation of the so-called minority does not seem to have improved.
