New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a press conference Wednesday that he thinks the vaccine requirements for athletes and entertainers preventing Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving from playing in home games is "unfair," but also said he is "struggling with" the idea of changing city rules to accommodate one athlete. Adams was asked whether he would change the requirement Wednesday after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said on ESPN's Get Up that he did not understand why the rule stopped Irving from playing home games, while unvaccinated players on visiting teams could come to NYC and play. Irving, the only unvaccinated player on the Nets or the New York Knicks, is not allowed to play in home games in the Nets' Barclays Center or the Knicks' Madison Square Garden because of the city's vaccine requirements for athletes and entertainers. About 97 percent of the NBA is fully vaccinated, Silver said Wednesday. Irving has maintained his opposition to get

Jean Claude Van Damme has been an action movie icon since the 1980s, but the Belgian actor says that his next action film will be his last one. Belgian actor and martial arts superstar Jean Claude Van Damme is planning to retire from action filmmaking after releasing one last pulse-pounding, bare-knuckle adventure. After having made a name for himself in the Belgian martial arts world, Van Damme moved to America in the early '80s to pursue a dream of acting. After playing a few smaller roles in movies like No Retreat, No Surrender and War and Remembrance, he burst onto the American martial arts movie scene as the leading man in 1988's Bloodsport.  Following the success of Bloodsport, the fact that Van Damme was officially an action star was undeniable. He'd lead nearly 20 movies in the next ten years alone and, to this day, hasn't gone more than a year in between projects since Bloodsport. Van Damme's celebrity continued to rise throughout the '80s and '90s

New York is set to drop its indoor mask mandate, as Democrat-led states appear keen to move on with life beyond the coronavirus pandemic, which a poll has shown has caused frustration among voters across the political divide. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is due to announce on Wednesday an end to the COVID mitigation measures, according to The New York Times as one public health expert told Newsweek, "it makes sense to have an off-ramp for mandates now." Thursday will see the expiration of the rule requiring businesses in New York State to demand customers have proof of vaccination and wear masks indoors, except when eating or drinking. While it is not clear if Hochul will renew or drop a separate mask mandate for schools that expires on February 21, the move comes as polls have suggested that two years on from its outbreak, Americans are done with the pandemic and want to move on. A poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) in January suggested that nearly three-quarters o
