I have seen a number of people say Kyrie should use his media time to talk about things that matter to him. This might have some impact but it’s not an answer to one of the problems, which is that sports media writes about these causes as human interest stories like any other.

Kyrie is as ever an imperfect messenger but I think there’s some value in making the media uncomfortable for a while. Everyone who has parroted “the bubble worked” without considering what it was needs to do some soul searching

Similarly the NBA is plowing ahead into this season with no coherent plan to keep people healthy and it’s at best a background story
