Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic: Opposition to Vaccines and Controversies in Sports

If anyone thought that Kyrie Irving’s mindset on the COVID vaccine had changed, he was wrong. The player who did not get vaccinated In 2021 he spent months without playing home games when he was a member of the Nets, since in New York people who had not managed it were not allowed to enter closed venues. That did nothing to change his opposition to the drug.

The triumph of Novak Djokovic, another non-vaccinated, in the recent final of the US Open has served to make the current Mavericks point guard once again be critical of the vaccine. Several images appeared on his Instagram account with messages about it. “Unvaccinated Novak Djokovic won the US Open! He won and we will too!”, said one of them. “Damn! You are right about all these conspiracy theories over the years. “I thought you were crazy”could be read in another.

The Serbian tennis player was the protagonist in the Australian Open when he was unable to defend the title from the previous year when the Australian authorities did not allow him to enter the country for not having been vaccinated.. Months later, he was also unable to participate in the US Open for the same reason.

Accused of anti-Semitism

Irving is a frequent follower of conspiracy theories: since saying that the Earth is flat to being one of the most famous anti-vaccines in world sport. His biggest scandal, however, came when he published on his social networks messages about a film with anti-Semitic overtones. The NBA criticized the point guard after starring in that new controversial episode and he was forced to apologize.
