Kyrie Irving Literally Calls Himself a ‘Martyr’ For Refusing to Take Vaccine

Kyrie Irving definitely doesn’t know the definition of a Martyr.

As we all know a Martyr is person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle a martyr to the cause of freedom.

Appearing on a podcast yesterday, Irving said he lived “the life of a martyr.” Per the New York Post:

“I was not expecting a mandate to be brought down in a way where it wasn’t going to let me play at all,” Irving said on “The ETCs” podcast that published Wednesday.

“I had the opportunity to play away games still, but there was no plan in place, there was no vision of how it was going to work for our team. And I think that really impacted not just me, but a lot of people. Just had to sit in that hot seat for a little bit and deal with it. The life of a martyr, bro.”

For one Kyrie didn’t sacrifice anything, he still got paid and he didn’t help anyone who was forced to get the vaccine.

The people that did have to get the vaccine due to mandates,  they would have lost their job if they didn’t comply. Kyrie didn’t lose his job, he just got paid the exact same amount for doing a lot less work.

He literally didn’t change a thing other than his team’s chances at winning a Championship.
