NBA Anti-Vaxxers Are Trying to Push Around the League .. Kyrie Irving says he was living the "life of a martyr"

Wiggins just realized it's all fun and games until you have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

That's really what all this bullshit is about. You got a bunch of people wanting to be like "Don't tell me what to do" and when people say OK but here are the repercussions they can't handle it.

Welcome to adulthood.

Oh look, BGOL's resident scary gang sneering because a healthy young man was coerced into taking an unnecessary vax.

If you are isolated and don’t be around a lot of people Then you can be anti-vaccine but if you are playing a team sport with different types of people around you then you have to be mindful of your health and everybody else’s health around you In Conclusion you should get vaccinated

It's that simple.

Real talk...

If this young man REALLY believed the vaccine was bad

And gave some semblance of competency?

He shouldn't have done it

And maybe negotiated a leave and reduced salary held in escrow or something.

Kareem didn't diss LeBron - called him the best player ever. He just said that he felt LeBron (and Draymond Green) could have helped more people (especially Blacks) become vaccinated by advocating for it, thereby saving lives. He made it clear that this is not political, it's about science...

...and I agree with Kareem.

How can you make someone advocate for something they are not passionate about?

Lebron spoke his truth. He got the vaccine so that should be enough for the shot bullies. No, they want him to be a spokesman.

What is your scary ass talking about?

As an adult your health is no one else's responsibility and no one should be pressured or coerced to do anything they don't want to (for whatever reason) just to make you feel safe.

If you're scared keep you ass indoors because like it or not there are unvaxxed people outside.

Everybody wanna be a rebel

But don't nobody wanna pay the cost.

Imagine this generation during segregation and Jim crow?

A 2021 Ali would have never gave up his belt

2021 feminists would have sent fire and bra emoji instead of burning their actual bras

2021 sit in? Would have paid others to sit first them.

It's like tattoos.

I remember when a tattoo was the ultimate sign of going against society.

Now he got 30 day temporary tattoos and affordable laser removal

These kids literally commit suicide if they lose followers, get hate tweets or don't get likes on a selfie.

They are so lazy they take the path of least resistance and want a prize for doing it.

Sending a tweet, refusing a vaccine etc

is the cheapest easiest laziest form of "resistance "

Until it isn't

Then they get angry at the world for not supporting their rebellion

They truly do not comprehend what that word even means.

It's a crazy world.

Crazy thing about it. These are not just the kids. They are likely the overwhelming majority now, but we see how grown adults been acting (generation x, baby boomers).

Yes, there was a time where standing up for your belief was a true sacrifice in many ways, but those days are 50 years past on the last time it was major. The younger generation may have a lower tolerance to adversity, but these grown adults have been showing me something as well.

We are all a product of our time period no matter what era we come from.

You are 100% correct

I said kids in reference specifically to Kyrie and Wigins

I should have said this current overall MENTALITY is fairly young

this MINDSET is young

and sadly folks old enough to know better are embracing it.

I remember that woman that videotaped Elvin working at Trader Joe's to try and "shame him...

for ATTENTION

and when she lost her job and her girlfriend and got FLOODED with attacks

(looking back notice how Elvin ain't say SH*T to "help" her, interesting huh?)

She was a GROWN ASS WOMAN you KNEW better

but fell into this modern social media mindset

to her determent.

Now WHAT in the hell causes THAT?

Oh ok. I got you.

Im so jaded with society right now and the amount of hypocrisy going on.

But for my own self-criticism, there are areas I folded on as well because society placed me a position where I had to chose my best options and none of the choices I liked.

The more time that passes, the more I am reminded that my convictions will eventually be tested. So far, I have let go of most things I thought that was important to me. I did that, so I don’t have to fight with myself.

I busted out in laughter when I read that comment. Couldn’t believe that even came out of his mouth to say that.

Wiggins is set for LIFE. If there was anyone in the world to hold out on a belief, it’s the ones that don’t have to work to do it. Nobody made that fool do nothing he didn’t want to do. He’s a fuckin millionaire. Talking about coerced. Nigga please.

Irving is OK with me when he speak about black issues but sometimes he gets out of bounds like right now.

I wouldn't listen to that clown on racial issues. How many black children does he have?

If I listen to him I have to listen to scumbag on this forum with the “asian” wife too. And why would I listen to such an inferior person?

Maybe he doesn't want to be a martyr. Maybe he knows no matter how much money he has, the media can still make the rest of his life hell.

Sleepy Joe bombed an innocent family last month and got less negative media attention than this kid. I understand why he did what he did.

Him, Harden and that team around them should compete for if not win a chip easily out east....

(No offense @TooTrilla @therealjondoe)

If I were KD that's a conversation I'd have had a long time ago. Kyrie is a generational talent but is he worth the headache?

Damn.

I do not see KD doing that

Now the GM and owner?

They BETTER strongly consider it

Cause Simmons, beale and CJ are out there to be had.
