LAMM AT LARGE: Kyrie Can Finally Play in Brooklyn

March 31, 2022

I’m thrilled Nets guard Kyrie Irving and other unvaccinated New York athletes will be allowed to play in New York. It was ridiculous, for example, that Irving couldn’t play home games in Brooklyn, but he and Nets fans were allowed to pack the Barclay Arena unmasked and some unvaccinated.

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have the essential workers over scoring guards and slugging outfielders.,
