Kyrie Irving Plans On Helping Unemployed Unvaxxed Workers In NYC

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving will finally be able to play in home games after NYC mayor Eric Adams made an exemption to the city’s mandate that prevented unvaccinated athletes and performers from working within the city (the mandate previously prohibited anyone without a vaccine from working in the city).

However, Irving’s involvement in this issue is not over just because his situation changed for the better.

Irving did not overlook the fact that more than 1,000 NYC workers have lost their jobs due to not getting the vaccine. Irving now wants all the New Yorkers who are not vaccinated to join him in demanding the vaccine be removed.

“I’ve been saying from the beginning with all this, it’s never been just about me, and any special privilege or exemption,” Irving said. “I think there are a lot of people dealing with real consequences from being unvaccinated. And I don’t think it’s talked about enough in terms of our essential workers and people on the frontlines, and it’s just it’s a whole community of us that really want to stand together.”

Irving doesn’t want to give fluffy talks about enforcing change. Irving said that he would take financial support for union workers who lost their jobs due to the mandates.

Perhaps New York can feel normal again with the help of Irving and more peaceful calls to change. 

Irving’s full-time availability for the Nets comes at a crucial time. Brooklyn is currently in eighth place in Eastern Conference, with seven regular-season games remaining. Brooklyn will require all their help to increase their playoff seeding.
