In the aftermath of a protest outside of Brooklyns Barclays Center on Sunday, in which protesters chanted, No vaccine mandate, stand with Kyrie! and waved signs in support of Kyrie Irvings decision not to adhere to the citys vaccine mandate, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has come to the defense of the mercurial NBA superstar. In a video posted to Twitter, the five-time world champ shared his thoughts on the ongoing standoff between the seven-time NBA All-Star and the team that will not allow him to participate in any practices or games until he takes the vaccine and is eligible to be a full-time participant. Kyrie, whats up? Mayweather begins. I know youre going through a lot. We had the chance to hang out in 2016 when you represented America, when you represented the red, white and blue. You only want to be treated fairly. I was going to post something on my social media pages but I decided to do it the old-school way and read something out to you because youre a great person, a great father, a great athlete and you believe what you believe.

Mayweather then goes on to express the importance of freedom and choice and paints Irving as a revolutionary. America is the land of the free: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and supposedly freedom to choose, he continues. Never be controlled by money. I respect you for having some integrity and being your own man. A free mind makes his own choices and a slave mind follows the crowd. Stand for something or fall for anything. One man can lead a revolution, to stand up and fight for whats right. One choice, one word, one action can change the world. Its crazy how people hate you for being a leader. I hope your actions encourage many others to stand up and say enough is enough. Respect to you Kyrie and power to the people.

Lol they keep going back to this issue of choice.

Kyrie had a choice and he chose to violate the vaccine mandate put in place by the city in which he plays. He also has the choice to play for another team or better yet retire and spare his teammates and the league all this unnecessary drama.

Choices have consequences. I dunno why this is such a hard concept to understand.

Most celebrities don't actually tweet. They have someone else do it. Mostly Trump and celebrities that are no longer relevant do it themselves.

This is kinda scary. For a while people were saying Anti-vaxers were just Trump supports. Now people not from that demographic are coming out as them.

Do the people showing him public support pay attention when he said he doesn't want to be a voice? They're basically doing the reverse by "showing support". They're using him to piggyback and have another big name attached to their own bullshit.

I watched him denounce people holding him up as some revolutionary or mouthpiece. They're not actually supporting what he wants.

And this was a video, so Mayweather can't lean on not being able to read as an excuse.
