Dr. Anthony Fauci has been allowed to rule America with an iron fist.
The COVID regime has affected all walks of life, including professional sports.
And Dr. Fauci forced one NBA player to make a shocking announcement.
The NBA is not mandating that their players get the COVID vaccine as a condition to play.
However, a handful of Democrat-run strongholds are constituting vaccine mandates that supersede any league guidelines.
As much, Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving will not be allowed to play in his team’s home games due to his refusal to get vaccinated.
From ESPN:
“Kyrie Irving returned to practice Sunday, but the Brooklyn Nets sound like a team coming to grips with the realization that its starting point guard will not play in home games for the foreseeable future. While the situation around Irving’s availability for home games due to New York City’s COVID-19 protocols could change, Nets coach Steve Nash said he knows the team will have to play games this season without Irving.”
Head coach Steve Nash broke the news that Irving would not be available unless the situation changes.
Nash said:
“We recognize he’s not playing in home games…We are going to have to for sure play without him this year. So it just depends on when, where and how much.”
The city found a loophole to allow Irving to practice with the team, so city officials could work out a solution to this nonsensical mandate if they wanted.

Irving, Jonathan Isaac, and a handful of other players have been vocal about their reluctance to take the vaccine for various reasons.
For that reason, they have been smeared in the corporate press.
Irving’s situation with Brooklyn mirrors is what happened to Bay Area teams last year.
The San Francisco 49ers and the Stanford Cardinal were prohibited from playing and practicing in Northern California as a result of draconian COVID lockdown measures.
Despite the creation of a vaccine available to those who want it, the COVID regime has increased its tyranny over the American people.
The insistence from Democrats and public health officials that everyone get vaccinated no matter what is causing massive pushback.
The Nets have championship aspirations, so playing without their point guard for at least 41 games could have serious ramifications on their season, especially if the COVID regime extends the madness into the playoffs.
