There are a lot of us that refused. We were treated horribly, called out for being selfish. We will never hear an apology. What breaks my heart is that everyone around me is now struggling with the after effects of that poison. People were so gullible. I question everything and my trust in the medical and pharmaceutical industries is ZERO!
My husband worked for the CDC and he, along with more employees than the CDC is willing to admit, refused the poison poke. It was a very stressful time for us with threats of being fired, etc. But he stood his ground. This is what patriotism looks like. Never again should people be so willing to comply.
I call BS on this. We are a family of 4. 4 people and one small income, no savings (hard to do when your have 4 people, 1 income) My husband worked for the CDC and refused to get the jab. Was a very stressful year as the interventions and threats of unemployment loomed. He stood his ground. This mandate nonsense would have been over quickly if more people stood their ground. It's easy to lead the sheep to slaughter when they just fall in line.
Totally agree, that's what I told my coworkers about the idiotic mask. Everyone complained but no one would stand up and say "No, we aren't doing this anymore". They couldn't have fired everybody.
So it would seem, who knew! Says here that he was only stopped from playing home games, that crafty old convid disappeared if he played away from home?🧐
The revenues they generate are way more obscene so I don't begrudge the athletes the huge pay. It's a small cut of what gets made by others for their skills.
Thank you Stephen A. - the rest of everyone need an apology….I won’t hold my breath…families have been torn apart, business closed, jobs lost and let’s not forget our children ! One of the saddest time in our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I do not always agree with Smith, that's for sure. But his willingness both to admit he was wrong and publicly apologize merits respect and credit. So few people display that capacity these days. It shows character and integrity, often missing from both political aisles. Bravo to Smith AND Irving!
I was watching ESPN when Stephen A Smith went on a rant about Kyrie Irving ending the rant saying "take the damn shot already, it's not like anyone has died from it". At the time there was well over 10,000 deaths reported on VAERS. ESPN immediately cut to a commercial and changed the subject when it returned to broadcasting. I thought at the time what an ignorant fool Smith is and he is fomenting hate and division like the rest of main stream media. I'm sure he made Fauci proud at the time.
I'm respect Smith for his apology and maybe it will spur thousands more from people who were ignorant like Smith and unleased venom towards coworkers, family, and friends who stood their ground against the insanity.
The covid jab opened my eyes to a dilemma I had for many years: "How would people, both great and small, be made to the mark?" Covid showed me that people will actually run to take it, mocking and condemning those of us who refuse to worship the beast and take his mark.
Here in the uk they sold their soul literally for free burgers, fries, concert tickets, you name it they sold it but that pales into insignificance when one sees the price they are now paying and that is literally with their lives!
Yes, Courage. Don't forget that there still are millions of Brainwashed people out there who believe that the Covid-19 Hoax was real. A check of actual deaths shows that statistically the overall deaths were in line with typical annual flu deaths. In order to move forward we need to address this false "Pandemic" belief.
They weren’t even in line with flu deaths, I’d suggest they were even lower, hence why even people who were ran over by a damn bus were marked as a convid death.
There is a fundamental right to bodily autonomy! It trumps everyone's elses right to "protection" from harm. My body my choice is used by the left all the time as the right to murder a child in the womb. How come that doesn't count when it comes to medical decisions? The Covid debacle allowed "healthcare" to keep families away from dying family members, elders in nursing homes, attending weddings, school, churches and any semblance of society. It even allowed young people to be put on ventilators and said to be beyond help and then given medication that killed them. There are numerous stories like this!
Our country is built of freedom and we had better learn never to give up that freedom again! This is a wake up call to this world and we had better heed it!
Well Said! In Canada there is an even larger gullible, naive and just plain stupid population. Almost 90% of our population took the Kool-Aid which shows you how bad it is here and explains their retention of the Corrupt Federal Liberal Government. I am so glad that Trump got elected. Even with his obvious flaws, he remains a shining light in the dungeon of Western "Civilization".
The way forward to a better America is with people who are willing to see their mistakes and try to make things right. I don’t assume that I can follow Mr. Smith everywhere he goes, in terms of his beliefs and opinions (which is a good thing); but I can be sure that when I do disagree with him, he deserves the benefit of my doubt and my grace.
It does take courage. What happened to us in our hometown was very painful. A lot of people who I thought were friends absolutely disrespected us and treated us like pariahs. Now when I look back those people act like nothing ever happened. Never an apology nothing and they pretend to be friends, but they’re not friends and that’s really sad for me and I’ll always be kind to them, but I will never trust them.
It's not about the size of the money. IMO, pro sports itself is the obscenity. There were many of us who saw thru Fauci and his "I am the great and mighty Oz!" schtick and refused the poison poke. The few sports stars who fought back had the eyeballs, and so are getting the apologies. He lost money, we lost livelihoods, family, and friends. Our recompense will come when Fauci, and the rest of the bullies who ruined our world, meet their Maker.

Lisa, you may like some work I’ve done on this topic and how the medical and pharma industry is a $4 annual trillion industry: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/healthcare-the-4-trillion-empire
Agreed and there are a lot with you to not trust these industries
Yes and unlike this player we didn’t have millions to fall back on! The money these people receive is obscene!

Amen!
Pay cut of almost 11.5 million and apparently lost out on £100,000,000!!!! Beyond disgusting imo!
It takes brains and a lot of blood, sweat and tears to bounce a ball around a court. It's an essential occupation.

Amen to that!!

He doesn’t merit credit, he’s simply trying to cover his ass as so many of them are now trying to do but you know what, too little too late!
Apology to Aaron Rodgers coming too?

I don’t respect late apologies because too much damage was done and there’s been no accountability and no reparations to the many fired victims.

So sad. People need to turn to God before it's too late.
Bravo for courage to see truth and for the persecutor to repent publicly!
Courage?????? I don’t think so!
Yes, Courage. Don't forget that there still are millions of Brainwashed people out there who believe that the Covid-19 Hoax was real.

Took him long enough. If he is just now figuring out he was wrong, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Kyrie - a man of courage and conviction! Kudos to him !!!

What took courage was standing our ground and not taking the knee to these demons, THATS COURAGE!
When times get tough you see who your real friends are, you only need a couple good true friends in life, value those with all your might
That’s a tragedy. You deserve better; but now you know what you’re dealing with, and that makes me happy for your sake.
Who will apologize to Novak Djokovic now?
If only Smith had explained WHY he was wrong. Who mislead him, and how will he prevent that next time?
Glad some are seeing the light! Here’s 4 things Fauci got wrong that he’s probably pleading the 5th on. Masking and lockdowns are just two of them: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/in-2020-fauci-told-you-to-wear-masks
Kyrie has balls!!! LOL. Can he sue the NBA, Nets, etc?
Congrats to Smith for apologizing. Now where is the NBA, Kareem and all those other cheer leaders of vaccine mandates?
If you took the shots you joined a cult and didn't realize it. To leave the cult you need to do 2 things:
1) Stop taking the "Holy Sacramental Injections" (I think most people have figured that part out)
2) Question the authorities who lied to you. This is where they all fall down because 90% can't question authority.
