Kyrie Irving stays benched

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has spoken up in defense of benched Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving, who has steadfastly refused to get the COVID-19 shot.

"The fascist NBA won't let Kyrie Irving play for refusing a vaccine. But yet they still let Magic Johnson play with HIV," wrote Greene in a tweet on October 14.

Greene was referring to how the NBA star announced his HIV diagnosis in 1991 and then abruptly retired from the sport. Johnson has been credited with being a powerful advocate for HIV/AIDS prevention and safe sex since his retirement from the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991.

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets announced this week that they would not allow point guard Kyrie Irving to play or practice with the team because he has not received the COVID-19 vaccine and will, per New York's vaccine mandate, not be able to play indoor home games. Irving's refusal to get vaccinated has thrown his $186 million contract extension and his future with the team into question. Irving recently spoke up about his decision to not get the COVID-19 jab, saying he is doing "what feels good for me."

Congratulations for winning the "How stupid can you get?" challenge MTG.

The difference between HIV and COVID is how they're transmitted. HIV is passed through bodily fluids either through sex or a blood donation.

COVID on the other hand is usually be passed through the air making the disease far more communicable.

Hope that helps.

1. Her stupid feels like it is made in a lab to grab attention away from actual corruption?

[fescuerescue]

2. Yea but there isn't a vaccine for HIV yet

If it's ever invented. That should be mandatory too IMO.

[Crunchy Frog]

18. Only in high risk populations, and shouldn't be required.

It doesn't transmit through casual contact, and doesn't transmit at all if the person is on modern antiretrovirals.

Covid is completely different.

[fescuerescue]

21. Once you start making exceptions, then it becomes political

Better to just mandate it for everyone.

But that's a discussion for a future day.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. There's no way you would get compliance from the general public on that one,

mandate or no mandate. Best to pick your battles.

[fescuerescue]

25. Just use the osha route.

People tend to enjoy eating and living under roofs.

They will comply if their job is at stake.

Oh sure there will be a few holdouts. Just a few.

The osha strategy is brilliant. It has lots of potential for other important things too.

3. Were they having sex on the basketball court?

No, but they were breathing.

[Clash City Rocker]

4. A number of NBA players have had Covid twice

Because when you play basketball, you’re getting right in each other’s faces sometimes, and no one is wearing a mask out there. On the other hand, if two players were having sex on the court during a game…I’m guessing that’s a penalty of some kind.

7. Nothing but net? (n/t)

[alphafemale]

13. Air Ball!

And I bet she thought she was clever.

[FreeState]

14. What is full blown HIV!? N/t

[Crunchy Frog]

19. There's no such thing. Full blown AIDS can happen

if the HIV isn't properly managed with medications. If Magic Johnson had full blown AIDS he would have been dead for decades.

8. Emty Greene uses words she doesn't know the meaning of.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. Majorly Traitor Greed is projecting again.

She is a sociopathic fascist klanswoman.

[joetheman]

10. You hope your explanation help whom? Nothing helps people like Trump supporters. But good try,. n

[Patton French]

11. Just gotta

[ProfessorGAC]

12. I Know She's Stupid...

...but the NBA is not preventing Irving from playing.
The TEAM is refusing to pay a guy who has to miss 44 of 82 games, & can't practice with the team due to CITY ordinances.
The NBA has NOTHING to do with this, and the team is protecting it's financial interests. After all, even a dullard like her would question paying someone $36 million to work 25% of the time. She wouldn't want her husband's company to pay someone's full salary if the only worked 2 hours a day!

[madinmaryland]

15. He played with a mask on....

While he played. She is a fucking MORAN!

[Renew Deal]

16. The NBA isn't blocking Kyrie from playing.

NY is preventing him from playing in NY. Some other states are doing the same thing. And his team has chosen to not use him part time.

[Crunchy Frog]

17. In HIV+ people on modern medications, transmission is essentially impossible.

MTG is a moronic fascist.

[Johonny]

20. Let's be real here. Magic was treated way worse than Kyrie

The press spread rumors, the other players were afraid of him. He lasted not even a full season worth of games before retiring for good.

Being HIV positive effectively ended his career.

[kairos12]

22. Majorie 3 Names is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being. She is garbage.

[Paladin]

24. Vile, stupid woman. Hope it all catches up with her, in one form or another. (nt)

26. She's running out of new material. Nt
