Breaking: Protesters push through barricades at Nets arena over Kyrie Irving vaccine drama

Kyrie Irving has not yet played for the Brooklyn Nets this season because of a vaccine mandate in New York City that prevents unvaccinated players from participating in home games in New York. Irving technically could have played in Brooklyn's first two games of the season, but the Nets chose not to play Irving at all rather than allow him to participate only in road games. On Sunday, though, the Nets returned home to Brooklyn to play their first home game of the season, and that has led to significant protesting outside of their home arena, the Barclays Center.
A number of protesters against the vaccine mandate gathered at the arena in downtown Brooklyn on Sunday. They chanted "let Kyrie play" while holding up signs that read "Stand with Kyrie" ahead of Brooklyn's Sunday matinee matchup with the Charlotte Hornets.

Sounds like he started a conversation in a city where that conversation needs to be had.

Would also add that it looks like there was an insurrection at Barclay's Center.

Lol.
So, it's ok to pack MSG, but a player can't play on the court.
It's OK to crowd the subways, not ok for a player to be on the court.
This really isn't about public safety.

But it’s also a city that will fight having that conversation.

I want to see some more police cars flipped and Molotov cocktails being tossed.

Interesting that BLM and Trump supporters are together on this . Hopefully it’s the start of them waking up to the real problem.

It’s ok to mask up our little kids. It’s ok to jab me and my kids against my will. DO NOT frick with my basketball!

Of all things to be angry over, school enforcing masks or vax mandates, losing your job over it, but this is what people get mad enough to protest over

Yep, we have some fricked up priorities. But if basketball is what gets these numbskulls on the right side, so be it.

This might be the Hawk Newsome branch, not necessarily the Patrice Cullors BLM. Don't get me wrong, Hawk's all about that oppression and victim mentality, but he at least is willing to speak up.

They will be portrayed as rioters and right wing extremists. Perhaps Domestic Terrorists
