TMZ Sports reports:
Longtime NBA referee Ken Mauer says he was forced out of the league after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine due to religious reasons. The 36-year NBA veteran joined Jason Whitlock on his show, “Fearless” and revealed the reason he’s been MIA from the hardwood this year is because of the league’s vax mandate.

Mauer — who was raised Catholic — told the BlazeTV host that after doing his own research he has concerns about the jab — explaining he believes aborted fetal tissue was used in the development of the vax.
