Last year, in judging the American events at the appearance of the pandemic, one detail was often forgotten, which is not a detail: individual states and cities enjoy considerable legislative autonomy on many fronts, such as health care, and for example in New York, after a cheerful start (“There is the Chinese New Year, go out and celebrate, don’t be misled by the fake news on the coronavirus” wrote on February 9 Oxiris Barbot, head of health at the time, except for a few hasty change of mind days later), the attitude became one of rigidity and rigor.

To enter a public sports facility, for example, you must prove that you have had at least the first dose of the vaccine, and if not, you are left out. It was the fate that awaited Kyrie Irving, 29, guard of the Brooklyn Nets and often cumbersome and uncomfortable, as well as very independent in decisions and words.

Unvaccinated, and a proponent of the conspiracy theory that the vaccination campaign aims to weaken African Americans, Irving should only have played away games, in unrestricted arenas, but to avoid a series of uncomfortable situations the Nets have decided to leave it directly at home.

He won’t train – despite the club’s gym being private – and he won’t play until he gets vaccinated, presumably. This was announced yesterday by general manager Sean Marks, the former Australian national team player who also passed for Virtus Bologna but without playing official matches in the league: “Kyrie made his choice and we made ours, for the good of the team. “.

The prospect of playing away only was alive until yesterday, despite the obvious discomfort of welcoming back into the quintet, every 3-4 games, such an important and bulky player, and attention: Irving will lose a lot, about 17 million, but only for the missed home games (41) plus the two in Manhattan against the Knicks, while he will still receive the salary (paid twice a month, on 1 and 15, as NBA rule, and calculated by dividing the total sum by 82 regular season matches) for away matches, because the decision to skip them is not his and the club has not suspended him but only kept him out of the team.
