The Mayor of New York made specific reference to sports when announcing the lifting of vaccine mandates. After Kyrie Irving spent the entire season to date unable to play at home for the Brooklyn Nets, Doug thinks it’s no coincidence that the mandate was only lifted after Yankees superstar Aaron Judge announced he was also not vaccinated. It just goes to show that the Yankees are the kings of NY, and the Nets continue to take a back seat.
Doug Gottlieb: “What pushed the mayor of New York to specifically mention sports teams was not Kyrie Irving; it was Aaron Judge... In the pecking order of New York sports teams, until further notice, the Yankees are number one.”
