NEW YORK -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday that the mandate for unvaccinated athletes and performers has been lifted.
"This is about putting New York athletes on a level playing field," Adam said during a news conference at Citi Field. "We were treating our performers differently because they live and play in New York City."
What that means in the short term for teams like the Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, New York Yankees and New York Mets is that unvaccinated players will be able to play in home games.
