Period. The only people who are not vaccinated are just a**holes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barkley told CNBC that sports leagues should demand that their players get vaccinated. He stated, \u201cCan you imagine if one of these guys that are not vaccinated, if they get one of these players\u2019 kids, wives, girlfriends, moms and dads sick and they die over some unnecessary conspiracy bulls***? I think that would be tragic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likening professional athletics to a corporate job, he continued, \u201cThere\u2019s s*** you can\u2019t do at work and there\u2019s s*** that have to do at work. So every workplace has rules and I think one of the rules [should be] that guys have to be vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUp to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/number-of-nfl-players-in-vaccination-process-up-to-80\">80%<\/a> of NFL players, <a href=\"https:\/\/nba.nbcsports.com\/2021\/07\/20\/michele-roberts-90-of-nba-players-vaccinated\/\">90%<\/a> of NBA players and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/mlb\/article\/mlb-says-23-teams-reached-85-per-cent-vaccine-threshold\/\">85%<\/a> of MLB players have reportedly had at least one shot. But there have been players and coaches who have publicly refused to be vaccinated,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/27\/charles-barkley-sports-leagues-should-force-guys-to-get-vaccinated.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.PostToTwitter\">CNBC<\/a> reported, adding, \u201cNFL\u2019s guidelines required vaccination for all Tier 1 staff, including coaches, front-office executives, equipment managers and scouts. However, NFL players are not required to be vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither the NBA nor MLB require vaccinations of their players.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-June, as <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/charles-barkley-announces-hell-be-leaving-inside-the-nba-in-two-years-blames-jackaes-trying-to-get-you-canceled\/\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported, Charles Barkley announced he would be leaving \u201cInside the NBA,\u201d where he had co-hosted for 21 years, when he turns 60, blasting the woke culture that pervaded the sports world. He <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/basketball-legend-charles-barkley-to-exit-inside-the-nba-slams-cancel-culture-and-social-justice-warriors\">told<\/a> Washington sports radio station&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.audacy.com\/thefandc\/podcasts\/grant-and-danny-817\/61421-hour-2-charles-barkley-joins-grant-danny-live-458580189\">106.7 The Fan<\/a> that his bosses were \u201ccowards,\u201d adding, \u201cIt\u2019s gotten so out of hand right now, I couldn\u2019t imagine having to watch myself. You can\u2019t even have fun nowadays without these jackasses trying to get you canceled and things like that. \u2026 [I\u2019m] just having fun, talking about sports. I\u2019m trying to hang on for another couple years until I\u2019m 60, and then they can kiss my ass. I\u2019m only working until 60. I\u2019ve already told them that. We can\u2019t even have fun anymore. We\u2019ve had fun all these years, and now all of a sudden in the last year and a half, everybody\u2019s trying to get everybody fired, and it really sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In July 2020, speaking on a pre-game podcast on TNT, Barkley <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/watch-charles-barkley-defends-athletes-standing-up-for-anthem\/\">defended<\/a> athletes who chose not to kneel for the national anthem, asserting, \u201cMy thing is, listen, the national anthem means different things to different people. I\u2019m glad these guys are all unified. But if people\u2026 If people don\u2019t kneel, they\u2019re not a bad person. I want to make that perfectly clear. I\u2019m glad they had unity, but if we have a guy who doesn\u2019t want to kneel \u2018cause the anthem means something to him, he should not be vilified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barkley is well-known for bluntly challenging the status quo; in January 2016, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2960\/former-nba-star-rips-espn-race-baiting-james-barrett\">ripped ESPN for race-baiting<\/a> in the run-up to the Super Bowl, saying on \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.danpatrick.com\/2016\/01\/27\/charles-barkley-if-auburn-paid-cam-he-was-a-bargain\/\">The Dan Patrick Show<\/a>\u201d that ESPN was \u201cframing the narrative\u201d of the game featuring Peyton Manning\u2019s Denver Broncos and Cam Newton\u2019s Carolina Panthers. He <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/video\/2016\/01\/28\/barkley-espn-turning-super-bowl-50-into-a-black-versus-white-race-battle\/\">said<\/a>, \u201cESPN has already started their crap about black versus white, good versus evil \u2014 and I know a lot of those fools over there got radio talk shows \u2026 It really annoys the hell out of me. We really just can\u2019t appreciate the greatness of Peyton [Manning]. And, clearly, Cam is on the track to become one of the greatest players ever. You can already see them framing this narrative \u2018black versus white, good versus evil.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
