Kyrie Irving Fans Protest Outside Barclays Center Over Vaccination

Kyrie Irving Fans Protest: “Let Kyrie Play”

Kyrie Irving fans took over the streets of New York City Sunday marching in support of NBA superstar Kyrie Irving’s vaccination stance.

As previously reported the Nets announced that Irving wouldn’t be allowed to play or practice until he became vaccinated. With not getting the shot, he loses out on $16 million in games missed.

Participants carried signs reading “No mandates … My Body, My Choice” and another demanding “equal rights for vaxxed” and “unvaxxed.”

Over the past few weeks Kyrie Irving has been the topic of conversation. Some people have spoken out in support of his decision to not get vaccinated, because it’s his body and his choice. But he also has been getting flack from a lot of people as well.

Charles Barkley spoke out recently during TNT’s season opener game and said “you don’t get vaccinated for yourself, you get it to protect others.”

Irving also went on Instagram live to let his fans know why he was making that choice. “Don’t believe that I’m retiring, don’t believe that I’m going to give up this game for a a vaccine mandate or staying unvaccinated,” he shared.

“Don’t believe any of that s—t, man. What would you do if you felt uncomfortable going into the season when you were promised that you would have exemptions or that you didn’t have to get the vaccine.”
