While Covid rules have loosened and it feels like sports are still being greatly affected by it. However, it is in a new way from last year. The vaccine has now become a solution to one problem but for some people has created other problems.
To the excitement of just about every sports fan, fans are now back in the stadium. This is amazing news for sports and makes games so much more enjoyable. We also are able to play games in each state now instead of some teams having to play in other states and some sports using a bubble format.
The vaccine has created a lot of controversies. One athlete, who is the king of controversy is Kyrie Irving. Kyrie Irving is refusing to take the vaccine so while the NBA season has started, his season has not. New york city is not allowing athletes even in professional sports to play without the vaccine. With kyrie a member of the Brooklyn nets this has caused a lot of issues.
People wondered if he would just play the away games for the team but the team obviously did not like this idea so they decided to suspend him together. The vaccine is now having its own effect on pro sports and will continue to cause controversy just like it is outside of the sports world. We will see if kyrie Irving decides to get the vaccine or if the nets will continue their season without him. Either way, this will continue to be an issue in sports.
