NBA legend Charles Barkley is accused of 'elitism' after saying pro-athletes should get the COVID vaccine FIRST - because they 'pay more in taxes'

  • TNT's NBA commentator 'Sir Charles' thinks pro athletes should be among the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine  
  • ‘NFL players, hockey players, as much taxes as these players pay, they deserve some preferential treatment,’ Barkley said during a Thursday night broadcast
  • Barkley's comments were criticized on Twitter, where social media users lashed out at the former NBA star for his 'elitism' 
  • Last year, the average player salary in the NBA was $8.32million; NFL player salaries came in at an average of $3.26million; NHL players earned $2.69million
  • In comparison, the median annual income of a typical US household in 2019 was around $68,000, according to the Census Bureau 
  • COVID-19 vaccination rollout has been considered a failure as distribution has been hampered by poor planning
