NBA Plans To Operate At Full Capacity Next Season With Clear Partnership

[RealGM Wiretap]

The NBA expects all arenas to operate at full capacity next season.

A key aspect toward that effort is the NBA's new multiyear leaguewide partnership with Clear, a biometric screening company known for its expedited security process at hundreds of airports worldwide. The partnership makes Clear's COVID-19 health screening technology available to all 30 teams in their NBA arenas.

A third of the NBA is already using Clear's Health Pass program, which includes a combination of health surveys and secure linking to COVID-19 lab results and vaccination records.

As it pertains to attendance, fans can download the Clear app and upload an identifying document along with a selfie.

A Clear spokesperson noted that the arenas only receive information about whether a fan has passed the requirements for access and not any private health information from the individual.

"You can do this with hardware or without," Clear CEO Caryn Seidman Becker told ESPN in an interview. "You can just be purely mobile to drive throughput. I look around the world and Australia is back. New Zealand, back. China, back. It just depends how it plays out, but obviously, the goal is 100%."

Should require all fans in attendance to present a vaccine card.

[DarkoNeedsAfro]

But they won’t require the players to get a vaccine? Interesting. Sure that will hold up

[jgonboricua]

so they are ok showing proof of vaccination and an ID to get into a ball game but not ok showing proof to vote...

[nedleeds]

ID to go to a basketball game. But any random non-citizen without ID can show up and elect the next President.

Also, how to the players get in the building without their vaccine / anal swab?

[Metallikid]

Nobody should have their biometric data scanned or require any app or test or pass to get into a basketball game.

Everyone has a human right to get to participate in the cultural life of society.

[DrClutch]

Looks like NBA going to enjoy losing fans, Clear partnership is another company with ties to the TRACKING agenda . They FKIN make money by selling peoples data & ties to the CIA. this BS gets ridiculous esecially when there are loads of people who have Antibodies & tcell immnity to the "virus" & dont need to get a shot

true freedom in that sense requires you to be responsible and prove you are not among the infected, if you are not willing to do that then go home. Your freedom to be you includes others freedom from you including your irresponsibility for the greater good if you feel like your rights are violated having to pass a test.
It is shocking too me how many people still think freedom and rights are not somehow a collective.

[DoctorDunc]

It’s an obstacle to attending live games and an additional cost to the fan. Add that to rest days, 82 game exhibition season. Not very interesting

Honest question: If the vaccine protects “you”, why are you worried about “my” vaccination status?

I already had Covid and it was no big deal (to me). There’s literally no one with my health profile that’s died from it and I already have antibodies. Why should I be in a hurry to get the magic vaccine?

No it doesn't. True freedom is doing your duty to understand what the risks are in your life and acting in accordance. Not asking for the government or a private entity to force everyone to do X and Y to go about exercising their human rights because 1. they want that information to sell and hold and 2. they want to have a carrot to dangle for people to get the vaccine when that's not how any of this works, and 3. because you're afraid. People who choose to go to an event of their own volition know the risks they are taking. There should be nothing in between you and the exercise of your human rights because that means your rights have been made conditional. Asking for a picture and all that personal information to go to a basketball game is authoritarian.

No, no company should be allowed to request this sort of information just to be allowed to attend a large event. Every major company has had data leaks. It's discriminatory against people who might not own electronics or smartphones. You understand they're literally asking for you to give them a current photo to go into a building? This is literally a system of control that is nothing but data mining and security theatre whose costs are passed on to the consumer. There's no positive anything about it.

And most of all, it's a human right to be able to participate in the cultural life of society. You shouldn't need more than the ticket in your hand. These events should be protested. You allow this thing in one place it will proliferate.

Empowering corporations is not the solution. If you think it is kindly go look up what they are trialing in Nevada, and the phrase 'Banana Republic.'

If you're scared. You shouldn't go.

Human nature may not be to value putting others before yourself but you need too. Setting parameters to cover their respective asses from certain people too selfish to care about if they spread a disease who in fact are the ones spreading the disease and the arenas having to go back to ltd capacity because they are part of the problem. Makes perfect sense too me.
The motive is so many peoples lack of owning up to their own contribution to this happening and to the need for such rules...sounds like somebody in this forum too me.
blame yourself and people like yourself for companies tightening the access and I will go to the game and you will sit at home.
have a nice day

Blaming regular people for corporations and governments agenda to gain more control and power. Yeah, that's why they're happening. Keep telling yourself that. I bet you'd justify a DNA database.

[Plutonashfan]

The Qanon nutjobs came out from under their bridges today I see.

[PRESTIGE]

The NBA is a private organization and can do what they want as long as it's legal. If you do not want to cooperate with them then don't go to the game. It's pretty simple, rights and freedoms have nothing to do with this. Nobody is forcing you to attend at gunpoint.

As Stillwater and Prestige were saying, the NBA is a private organization and they're allowed to operate as they want to as long as it is legal. Since you don't want to cooperate with them, then you don't need to go to any games. Going to NBA games is NOT something you need in order to live.

I honestly have no idea why Qanon and Anti-Vaxxers are long time users on this site. I thought they got their feelings hurt over kneeling during the national anthem and NBA showing support for BLM. Didn't these Qanon claim that they were going to stop watching NBA all the time? If that were the case, why are they on RealGM?
