In the field of public relations, there is an abundance of different fields that you can dive into. It is critical to understand your place in the space, so you are able to maximize your potential in the field. Nowadays, sports has become one of the most unique fields in public relations. Now more than ever during this Covid-19 era, the need for public relations representatives for players and organizations has increased. The talks of mandating the Covid-19 vaccine within the league has caused some concerns for players. This concern can ultimately turn into turmoil for organizations and fans who come to games planning to see star players. So, the use of public relation professionals is imperative to keep players and organizations in good graces of the fans. Players like Kyrie Irving has been seen in the eyes of the public as a good player who is problematic with a diva like personality. During the 2020 season, Kyrie sat for multiple games for unknown reasons in which he did not communicate with his coaches, teammates, or organization. With him being a star player under a big contract, this could cause turmoil between not only Kyrie and the fans, but also with the organization. This issue has lingered into the 2021 season with the Brooklyn Nets. With Kyrie opting out of getting the vaccination, it has put his name, reputation, and made his love for the game look questionable to fans and players around him. His personal decisions have put a strain on the organization both physically and socially. Recently, this story has been running across many sports platforms as a main headline, which has not only made Kyrie Irving look bad, but also the Brooklyn Nets. Trying to clear the air, Kyrie spoke out during media day stating, “Honestly, I’d like to keep that stuff private. I’m a human being first. Obviously living in this public sphere it’s just a lot of questions about what’s going on in the world of Kyrie.” He also said that he wants to deal with this matter in private and he has a plan moving forward. His plan moving forward accentuates that he still plans on playing in the 2021 season. Even though he does not reveal the plan, it’s clear that Kyrie has consulted with someone to help take the pressure off his back. By revealing there is a plan, he gives his fans high hopes of seeing the superb guard play this season.
