Tension in New York in the protests in support of Kyrie Irving
Dozens of people gathered tonight in front of the Brooklyn Nets NBA team pavilion to show their support for the player Kyrie Irving, whose franchise does not allow you to play matches while you are not vaccinated against covid-19.

Tension flared after Brooklyn Nets security members cut off the protesters to prevent them from entering the pavilion. They also protested the New York vaccination mandate.
