New York city’s mayor will announce Thursday that he’s exempting athletes and performers from the city’s vaccine mandate for private workers.
FILE - Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving , who is not permitted to play games in New York because he's unvaccinated for COVID-19, drives against Orlando Magic guard R.J. Hampton during an NBA basketball game on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, in Orlando, Fla.
Adams had said he felt the vaccine rule was unfair when it came to athletes and performers because a loophole in the measure, imposed under his predecessor, allowed visiting players and performers who don’t work in New York to still play or perform even if they are unvaccinated.Irving and Nets coach Steve Nash said they didn’t want to comment until after an official announcement.
“If the mandate is not there, it’s good for Kyrie,” Judge told The Associated Press during spring training in Tampa, Florida, adding he “wasn't too worried” about the mandate's effect on the Yankees.
