Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday agreed with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver who said it “doesn’t quite make sense” that Nets star Kyrie Irving can’t play at Barclays Center while visiting players who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 can — but cautioned changing the rule might send “the wrong message.”
Following a press conference about the city’s 2023 budget, Adams told reporters he was “struggling” with the aspect of the municipal vaccine regulation that allows away players inside sports venues but bars athletes who live in the five boroughs from entering their hometown arenas, while declining to reveal if he would reform it.
“First of all, I think the rule’s unfair. I believe that we are saying to out-of-town athletes that they can come in and not be vaccinated, yet New York athletes do have to be vaccinated,” Adams said at City Hall in response to a reporter’s question about Silver’s comments.

It’s impossible now.

but cautioned changing the rule might send “the wrong message.”
that what... you had a brief moment of mental clarity???
Yep. Don’t change the rule. Keep wearing that BS badge, so people will not be confused.
Oh history is very clear on that point.
The kind of people who spend their life working to get power are willing to kill tens of millions of people rather than admit they were wrong.
Wouldn’t the 14th amendment apply?

They lost the argument early on when they exempted anti-Trump rallies from restrictions/social distancing.
Where is the “science” in allowing “unvaccinated” visiting players to perform in NYC while home team members who won’t take the hot shots can’t play?
It is laughable, but serious; this is nothing more than tyranny forcing its will on people. Dem states already had a brain drain, which accompanied a capital/jobs drain; this has accelerated it tenfold. They’ll replace the fleeing American makers with foreign takers, and the makers will still get the bill...
