New York City will exempt performers and athletes from its Covid-19 vaccine mandate for private-sector workers, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday, allowing unvaccinated professional athletes like Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving to play at venues across the city.
Adams announced Executive Order 62—which he said was signed and is effective immediately—during a press conference at Citi Field.
The mayor said “we’re making [this change] because this city has to function,” as he noted the need for more employees and tourists to improve the city’s economy.
Adams also said the change will allow New York City’s players to be on “an even playing field,” and will affect venues such as the Barclays Center, Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
Adams lifted the city’s vaccine mandate for customers in indoor venues earlier this month, but left vaccine regulations in place for private-sector employees, meaning New York City athletes could not compete unvaccinated.
The previous rule did not apply to unvaccinated players on competing teams who traveled to New York City for away games, leading NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to ask city officials to review the “oddity” last month.
Several labor unions criticized Adams for lifting the mandate for wealthy and famous performers while leaving vaccination rules in place for other employees in the city, including public-sector workers. “There can't be one system for the elite and another for the essential workers of our city,” Harry Nespolli, chair of a group of unions representing about 350,000 city workers called the Municipal Labor Committee, told the Associated Press.
The exemption comes amid pressure from the sports world ahead of the NBA playoffs and the MLB’s opening day next month. Due to his vaccination status, Irving has only been playing during away games since returning to the Nets this season, although he was allowed to attend the Nets’ home game as a spectator. The NBA has a vaccination rate of about 95%, while the MLB has the lowest vaccination rate among the four major U.S. sports leagues, ESPN reports.

So Big Bird DeBlasio was right all alone, NYC is a tale of two cities.
The rich professional athletes and the poor pleasant.
Adams is just continuing it.
You voted for it, you own it NYC.
Science is always about the money, not Covid and Adams proved it.
NYC suckers !
Too bad this idiot fanboy didn't show the same respect for NYC's teachers, firemen, EMTs, etc. THEY were threatened with the ax if they didn't want to subject themselves to the clot shot, and some of them were in fact terminated. But celebrities, he can always find reasons to excuse.
What a total jerk he is.
NYC Workers say crime-ridden NYC not worth the hassle anymore !
Good Job DemOrats !

From NY Times: "Steven A. Cohen...Mets owner who last year gave $1.5 million to a super PAC supporting Mr. Adam's mayoral campaign..."
What did you expect from a machinery Democrat? Now he’s making Republicans.
I had hopes for this man, but the hopes faded. Im glad I didn't vote for him as mayor but I still wanted him to so be good for nyc. But its clear that he's just a snake in the grass too like mayor dumbdumb.
Under the completely unqualified-and-failed leadership of Eric Adams (not to mention the OTHER intensely unqualified spokes-liar called 'Eric,' who is under Adams' grimy thumb——as in Eric Ulrich, a/k/a 'Derelict Dullrich'), this rapidly decaying, collapsed, and 'politician as gangster' infested metropolis now makes hell look like heaven. Is it any wonder then, that nearly all of the former (mostly White) middle class of the city, Long Island, the suburbs and excerbs of New York State are refilling their Piña Coladas on the Conservative, sandy beaches of Florida's Gulf Coast, sans masks, and idiotic, immoral orders of entrenched government tyranny.
Hence, CENSORSHIP is the propaganda tool that is FOISTED onto the seamingly powerless masses when the lie loses ALL of its power and control. QUARANTINE is when you restirct the movement of sick people; tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.
History is repeating itself, and all hardworking citizenry have been played, duped, bilked, scammed and damned. It's the final countdown to outright anarchy when elitism is excused for the purpose of UNJUST ENRICHMENT, versus stern and unwavering restrictions on basic freedoms and democracy for everyone else. You're being played, 'MERIKA (again and STLL)!

He's got to put cops and firefighters on some kind of fitness regime. Some of those cops must spend their whole day eating junk and staring at their phones. Actually, he could put all city employees on a special diet and fitness program. Thered be lots more room on the subway with less fat asses taking up seats. Healthcare costs would go down, and some of them could actually do their job.
Prove me worng ...
@DemOrats goon
The Ny Post makes up the news as it goes along. It's just another tool of the Putin wannabe Russian empire. Just like you.
Definition of irony:
The Soy who voted for this Clown Eric and Brandon to get handouts, student loan forgiveness or free community college will get drafted to fight WWIII instead.
Wake up city employees who voted for this mayor. What did you think he isn't for you. He is for himself.He is another de Blasio who is looking for long future in politics. You get what you voted for so deal with it. Crime is high the streets and subways aren't safe but he is out to make money for the city by allowing these millionaires to play ball and you will go to these games make them more richer and get nothing in return. The little people always suffer for the rich and ones who want a future in politics. The same pople who voted for Biden are the same who voted for Adams. Hope your happy.
Basketball is a big Bkack sport and Adams is ....
Need we say more?
He will not alienate a voting block!
