I’ll ask you the same questions I did Racehorse:
1) do you think it’s a smart decision?
2) do you think it’s an informed decision?
3) do you think it helps his community? (Either of them, but especially the black community)
The answers for me are all easily “no”. There is no excuse for that, IMO, for a guy with the resources available to Leonard. I personally see no way a person of Leonard’s means could research it and come to the conclusion it’s best for his community to not get vaccinated (or that everyone else should but not him). Hell of a player, just not the kind of man I’d call a leader. Maybe he doesn’t want to be one in the community and that’s fine. Michael Jordan prioritized money over his community. I’m sure he doesn’t worry about what people like me think about that. I’m sure Leonard won’t either. I just wonder how many Colts fans will defend his reasons if it costs the Colts games.

I’m talking about the black community. I don’t know Leonard’s specific motivations.
It doesn’t matter what my answers are. I’m not black nor an athlete. Education doesn’t seem to protect people from the propaganda. This group of doctors part of the frontline they call themselves are anti vax.
