Hundreds of demonstrators staged a protest against vaccine mandates on Sunday at the Barclays Center in New York City. The protesters – which included Black Lives Matter supporters – demanded that the Brooklyn Nets allow superstar Kyrie Irving to be able to play in NBA games despite being unvaccinated.
Demonstrators called for an end to New York City’s vaccine mandate, and carried signs that read: “End medical mandates” and “No digital passports.” There were also protesters supporting the Nets basketball player with “Stand with Kyrie” signs.
The crowd of protesters was extremely diverse, with conservatives with American, Gadsden, and “F*** Biden” flags, along with Black Lives Matter supporters, and a woman with a “Vegan unvaxxed” sign.
