Despite the usual round of rumors that the City of New York is about to pull its public sector mandate — and permit Kyrie Irving and unvaccinated members of the Mets and Yankees — to play at home, Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday sounded like he won’t yield to pressure from sports fans or their teams.
“They have to wait,” Adams said of the sports teams while announcing an end to mask mandates for children 2-to-5. Irving, of course, hasn’t played at home since October because of his refusal to get the shot.
