Ep 150 | EXCLUSIVE: NBA Ref BOOTED for Not Vaxxing | Ken Mauer Explains How FAITH Guided Him

from Fearless with Jason Whitlock · host Blaze Podcast Network

Ken Mauer has a face immediately recognizable to NBA fans. He’s been a referee in the league since 1986, but he suddenly disappeared this season. Mauer has chosen to tell America why for the first time in an exclusive interview with Jason Whitlock. Why is the NBA’s vaccine mandate stricter for referees than for players? How are Mauer’s Catholic faith and his objections to abortion the basis for his filing for a religious exemption from the vax? What does the veteran referee think about Black Lives Matter and other politically correct initiatives by the NBA? Mauer talks about his favorite moments from a career in which he crossed paths with Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Pat Riley, Russell Westbrook, and so many more. Plus, Mauer reveals what it has been like being a member of one of Minnesota’s most famous sports families and a cousin to Twins legend Joe Mauer.
