I don't. The dude is selfish and it is not just based on this story. Other people familiar with his personality may also agree but I understand the point you are attempting to make.

I would agree with you and consider this just another attention getting scheme if he was doing this without consequence, but he is walking away from 15 million a year! That makes me go to his corner, he truly is man of conviction, and write or wrong, you have to respect him for that. Most of us could not walk away from that amount of money, even if we were already multi-millionaires such as himself. I believe in this rare instance, he sees the bigger picture, its not about himself or sports anymore, its about our own individual sovereignty and our right to choose what we do with our bodies and the loss of personal freedom and rights to choose.
And I am not holding this against the Nets either, they didn't want this.
I hold us, the body politic, responsible for bending the knee and allowing our leaders to do this to us. Its my entire point, this is really not about covid, its about power and it absolutely will not stop if we continue on this path.
