The panel included Cash, Hendy, Slater, Le Tissier, NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton and NFL Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer Ken Reuttgers.

Australian tennis great Pat Cash has turned heads after joining a panel of other sports stars to share their views on the global pandemic.
Cash was joined by former professional surf lifeguard Trevor Hendy, also an anti-vaxxer.
Cash’s story was extraordinary, to say the least.
He discussed emissions reduction targets, focusing on a “certain area” in a suburb near his London base.
“Environmental lockdowns… are going to be subtle, like everything else,” Cash said.
“I live in London, and there’s a certain area of a suburb where you can’t drive because of emissions, there’s an emissions lockdown.
There have been signals for years, low emissions, all these kinds of things. Now, if you go into that area, drive through that area, and don’t live there, you’re going to get a fine… an infraction notice, about 80 pounds.
‘It was never there, it’s there now, they’re starting to implement it little by little and that’s how it starts. ‘Oh, we’re looking at the environment in this area to protect people from pollution coming out of cars.’
Surfing icon Kelly Slater was also on the panel; she previously called out Australians for ‘celebrating division’ when it came to people’s vaccination status.
Taking to Twitter, former EPL star Matt Le Tissier retweeted a post suggesting the media ‘lied’ about certain events during the global pandemic.
Le Tissier also suggested that the Covid PCR tests “were the biggest fraud perpetrated against humanity.
“
Slater later added: Why doesn’t the wind blow? Is that Pat?’, drawing a chorus of laughter from the panel.
Cash then concluded by stating: “These are the subtle things, so people, keep this in mind, so when you go to your council and they say, ‘oh, we’re looking at doing the parking permits and all this around whatever,’ be aware of that this is how it begins, and it has already begun.’
Next up was Hendy’s turn, and he didn’t disappoint.
The Gold Coast father recalled an occasion when he did not wear a face mask at Perth airport and insisted his stance was welcomed.
“I went into a Virgin Lounge with a partner (retired AFL star Kane Johnson) and neither of us were wearing masks,” Hendy told the panel.
‘We talk to everyone, and all the time [made sure we] we had big smiles on our faces.
“At first, all the staff and other passengers had masks on, but when we boarded our flight 45 minutes later, not a single person [in the departure lounge] he was wearing a (mask).
John Stockton, one of the most celebrated basketball players in NBA history, was widely criticized after suggesting that ‘hundreds’ of athletes had died after receiving a covid-19 vaccine.
The Utah Jazz great was unable to attend games at Gonzaga University after refusing to wear a face mask.
‘People don’t want this shit, they just don’t want to be the ones to see it cross the line.
‘YO [firmly] I think there is a group of people who want to control this planet… we have to wake up.’
Last year, Slater shared his views of Covid-19 on Instagram, accusing those in Australia who were vaccinated of “celebrating the divide” before questioning whether the jab was really effective.
Le Tissier, a Southampton legend after playing his entire football career with the Saints, caused outrage last April after tweeting that “PCR tests were the biggest fraud ever perpetrated against humanity.”
He also claimed that dying covid patients in Italy “were actors” and that government interference in people’s lives during lockdown was an “injustice”.
Retired NBA identity John Stockton in 2021 was widely condemned after he suggested ‘hundreds’ of athletes had died after receiving a covid vaccine.
His claim was later proven to be false.
