“I gave up four years, $100-something million deciding to be unvaccinated, and that was the decision,” Irving said. “(Get this) contract, get vaccinated — or be unvaccinated, and there’s a level of uncertainty of your future, whether you’re going to be in this league, whether you’re going to be on this team. So I had to deal with that real-life circumstance of losing my job for this decision.”
NBA players are not required to get vaccinated by the league, but they had to undergo stricter COVID protocols last season as part of the league’s pandemic safety measures. But in New York City where the Nets play, however, there was a vaccine mandate for businesses last season that kept Irving from playing in home games. So he missed dozens of games as a result, participating in just 29 of the 82 games for the Nets last season.

Fuck NYC, they are parasites. They are the epitome of assholes of hypocrites.

Thanks, richwicks! It's always nice to hear that I'm a worthless parasite despite protesting against the psychopaths on the streets where they're based and holding the ground as one of the million (last I checked) unvaccinated New Yorkers preventing them from going full medical police state.

Would I love to leave NYC? Better believe it. Do I want to hide where I'm from because of judgemental people that think every person from NYC is a brainwashed leftist extremist? No, I won't do that either.

What's stopping you? I left Long Island in 1969.

Look, you have no idea how NYC treats the rest of the state. They shit all over it.

NYC is a fucking drain on the rest of the state. There's a natural gas pipeline going through my father's land using eminent domain. This is how it worked, either my father would give up rights of ANY development on the land, OR he could sell it for nothing, but then he couldn't cross it to reach the rest of his land. He can't develop on it, or use it in any way, but if he didn't do this, no way to reach the rest of his property, but he could have gotten a few pennies on the dollar..

What does NYC produce? Financial fraud? What do they make? The rest of NY would be ECSTATIC if it became part of New Jersey. It's a drain, it's an albatross on the rest of the state's neck. It's a shitty filled with arrogant fucking assholes which are the TRULY useless eaters.

Do you think you have better food, a better culture? Absolutely not but since most people in NYC never have left the shitty, they have no clue. 90% of people in NYC have never been outside, and they are INTOLERABLE when they do. They think "upstate" means anything outside of their shithole. No matter where you go, you can smell the sewer. The entire city is a sewer. It's nothing but crime, they produce nothing, they are a burden on the state, they have an undue influence on elections, they promote welfare and poverty, they elect madmen.

I'm in a similar situation in Silly Con Valley, we're hated too by the rest of the state (along with LA, SF, and San Jose), and I know precisely why. Why would you lose if a nuclear bomb were dropped on us? You wouldn't get the newest, stupid toy? You wouldn't get a new vapid stupid woke film from Pedowood? If it happened in NYC, it would drastically free up resources and drastically limit financial fraud. What does NYC produce? I don't know if Silly Con Valley at this particular point is nothing but a drain, but NYC has been since 1970 at least. It produces NOTHING for society. Nothing at all.

Here's what it produces - Kathy Hochul, Andrew Cuomo, David Paterson, Elliot Spitzer, Mario Cuomo. NYC dominates the elections. I'm just pointing out that the rest of NY wants to be free of NYC and in the ACTUAL upstate, they just ignored the stupid mandates. NYC keeps electing authoritarians, nobody else wants that in the rest of the state. NYC is a drain on the rest of the state, and I can absolutely tell you, only idiots like the craphole, and they are superficial, dumbass democrats. There's absolutely nothing to be proud of in that shitty. You still have racial segregation for fucks sake.

LOL! Blame the victims of the deputized Deep State criminals. Predictable.
