New York City to let unvaccinated athletes play home games
New York City's mayor will announce Thursday that he's exempting athletes and performers from the city's vaccine mandate for private workers, a move that will allow Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving to play home games and unvaccinated baseball players to take the field when their season begins.
Nueva York levanta el veto para jugadores como Kyrie Irving
Los Nets por fin van a tener a Kyrie Irving para todos los partidos posibles. Ya había entrado en la rotación de Steve Nash, incluso firmando actuaciones de 50 y 60 puntos, pero sólo para los compromisos del equipo como visitante. Tenía prohibido jugar en el Barclays Center debido al mandato de Nueva York, lugar en el que está sito el pabellón, para los protagonistas de Knicks o Nets que formaran parte de estas plantillas sin haber pasado por el proceso de vacunación contra el COVID-19 en el que se han metido más del 90% de los jugadores de la NBA. La dualidad no sólo era que no jugara como local y sí como visitante, razón por la cual los Nets le apartaron en la primera franja de la temporada durante las semanas, también que cualquier jugador visitante que presentara una PCR pese a no estar vacunado sería apto, algo que Kyrie Irving no valoró porque no era una opción válida para él. Todo ello queda atrás a partir de ahora.
