Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab.
"Hindsight-wise, it didn’t make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE."
"I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving."
“Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates."
“In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, ‘Nah, I'm not doing that.’
“It's just a time for reflection — to look at things differently.”
Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated.
That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.
The Texas Rangers are the only MLB team not doing the whole Pride Month thing.
No rainbow jerseys, no special nights, just baseball for everybody.
And you know what? Good for them. Finally, someone keeping it about the game instead of turning the ballpark into a parade float.
If you’re tired of every team shoving politics down your throat with every pitch, support the Rangers.
Buy the merch. Rock that Texas hat. Go to the games.
God bless Texas. And God bless the Rangers for not caving to the insanity.

Cole Swindell on being inspired by Charlie Kirk:
"A man was assassinated for believing how I believe, except that he was a little more bold about it.
It made me look in the mirror: someone that's living like I should be living and spreading the Word as a Christian, what I should be doing with the platform that I have.
There's a whole lot of us that are just fed up with feeling like we can't say how we believe.
I'm a loving person, I'm not judgmental, I kinda say out of the way & do my own thing and try to be good to people.
That's just not good enough anymore."
