NBA To Require Daily Testing For Non-Boosted Players Though All-Star Break 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Jan 7, 2022 4:52 am

The NBA will require non-boosted players to undergo daily COVID-19 testing through the All-Star break in mid-February while also restricting those players' attendance at large indoor gathering, bars and clubs.


The NBA and National Basketball Players Association agreed on several increased testing protocols in the wake of the ongoing surge of COVID cases. 


The NBA had 11 games postponed in December and 300-plus players and 12 head coaches placed into health and safety protocols this season.

Since vaccinated people can spread the illness the same than the non-vaccinated, all this is done to push the non-vaccinated people to comply and surrender.
It is so sad to see how ALL NBA PLAYERS do not decide to stop playing to support their colleagues and say ENOUGH to all these stupid rules.

The system wants all of us vaccinated, not healthy.

We should ask ourselves why is this...

If I was a player I’d deny testing too.

This is discrimination; fully vaccinated can still transmit the disease, but are given special treatment for reasons that don't make any sense.

Do this random thing without proof that it did anything to create more anti-bodies, this thing that as a healthy 25 year old is completely unnecessary, or we nose rape you every day. Why the PU concedes to this hand waving do nothing idiocy is insane.
