Unvaxxed NBA players can not play in home games

Fair enough Sir Wins-A-Lot. Much respect for your CBB capping.

Article about the Mavericks joining this policy:

  ...will require fans who enter the American Airlines Center for home games to have proof of being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus or a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the game.

The Mavericks are following the Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors, which will have similar policies. The Thunder and Mavericks are the only teams that adopted the policy without a local mandate with which to comply.

Comments about the article:

so if i'm unvaccinated and test negative, i could be seated next to an infected vaccinated person with no test, because no test is required for them. And that's supposed to be a safe environment?

At least 90% of players arent vaccinated... THe media is just going to lie and say 90% of them got it and pick and choose who to mention that hasnt gotten it

The NBA just played an entire season where none of the players or fans were vaxxed.Now that any player or fan can get vaxxed the league is more worried than they were last year? It seems like the more people get vaxxed the more worried/paranoid they get. They should just put everyone in hazmat suits and get it over with.

Some updates to report:

"LA joins NY, SF with strict vaccine mandates affecting local teams. Los Angeles became the third NBA city to pass a sweeping Covid19 vaccine mandate that will impact it's NBA teams, joining NY and SF. The ordinance will go into effect Nov. 29. Starting that day, anyone entering, among other facilities, indoor gyms- including Staples Center, the home of the Lakers and Clippers- will have to be fully vaccinated, meaning 14 days past their last dose of the covid19 vaccine."

"Lakers GM Rob Pelinka said the Lakers will be fully vaccinated by opening night later this month. And Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said last week that his team was fully vaxxed."

"There is an exemption however for non-resident performers playing in all 3 of those cities.  Over the weekend, Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins got vaxxed, allowing him to play in home games in SF when the regular begins later this month." "The only options were to get vaxxed or not play in the NBA, Wiggins said, after the Warriors preseason opener on Tuesday."

"Net's star Kyrie Irving, on the other hand, continues to sit out activities in NY because he has yet to receive a shot. The rest of the Nets, as well as the entire rosters for the Knicks and Warriors, are in compliance with the local mandates."  ESPN.com/NBA/story/-/id/3

"Unvaccinated NBA players can travel to Toronto and play under special exemption." However:

"Unvaccinated NBA players might be coming into Toronto this season to play the Raptors, but they're not likely to be roaming the Canadian streets. NBA players have been told that unvaxxed players could face up to 750 k in fines or 6 months in prison if they violate both NBA protocol and Canada's Quarantine Act while in Toronto." The Canadian government granted a "national interest exemption" to the NBA for it's unvaxxed players earlier this month, which also was earlier granted to MLB. The NHL did NOT APPLY for such an exemption."

The Raptors announced Wednesday that their entire team as well as staff have been fully vaxxed. And as of late September, 90% of all NBA players had received both of the covid19 vaccines."

Notice how, as I just updated, the NBA is granted "exemptions" for the traveling Covid-protocol circus performers in the cities that have mandated medical Marshall laws to protect the "health" of these players who have a "whopping" 0.0002% chance of dying from "Covid.?" It's like mandating lockdowns to take your freedoms away because one day you could be struck by lightening.

You give the tyrants that want to control your life an inch by complying to their nonsensical protocols and mandates, and they will always take a mile. But of course stop just short in their double standards, as to not upset the whole applecart. Thus the exemptions.

How retarded are these Covid rules, my understanding is an unvax NBA player from other teams could fly into Toronto to play but the people unvax in Canada can’t travel within the country or outside the country by train or plane.  What makes these unvax NBA players coming in and out of Toronto to play so special.  This covid thing ain’t base off logical science that’s for sure.  Kylie Irving for example won’t be allow to play in Brooklyn or New York but could come to Toronto, I say these covid rules are pretty f@#k up.

Kyrie update: Just to keep a timeline on everything as it has transpired so far.

"Brooklyn Nets say Kyrie Irving won't play, practice until eligible under local Covid19 vaccination mandate."  espn.com/nba/story/_/id/3

"Net's GM Sean Marks said Tuesday (10-12-21) that Kyrie Irving's decision to not comply with NYC covid19 vaccine mandate left the organization with no choice but to send him away from the team until he's able to fully participate."

No surprises here as owner Joe Tsai has "been a loud proponent of vaccines, and his company BSE - which also owns Barclays Center and the Liberty, - demands it of employees. I'm a total believer in having that, in the fact that the vaccine actually protects you from getting sick, getting real sick. Now the other thing is, I also believe that taking the vaccine is also a social responsibility, because you're not only protecting yourself, but you're protecting other people." As reported by the NY Post.

So, I know the NY crowds will all be vaccinated. But some may be having vaccine remorse. And it would be nice to hear some loud NY style chants from them during the games like:  "We want Kyrie, we want Kyrie." Or, " F*CK DeBlasio." And "F*CK Hochul." Along with the now standard - "F*UCK Joe Biden."

Great time for the NBA Players Association to go on strike vs the league. What will the league due when 1 of it's players has a heart attack on the court It could very well happen.

Atlanta hawks player Brandon Goodwin says season was ended from blood clots because of covid vaccine. NBA told him to keep it quiet. 

The very generous side of Kyrie Irving.

This Is Insane (uberpolitics.com)

What’s the latest intel?  How many players will be out on Day 1 due to being unvaxxed?

It is likely now that you will need a booster. Getting the vaxx was a mistake if you are healthy. But if you already got it, you are probably better off with booster because the vaccine that you took already interfered with your natural immune response and when you get sick with a new variant, the natural immune system might not respond as efficiently. Healthy people beat this virus as if it is a bad cold and some even easier. Kids breeze through with it. Once you beat it, the natural immunity is much stronger than the immunity that you get from vaccine which vanes off with in few months.  Those who are still not vaccinated probably don't need the vaccine at all because there is over 95% chance that their body is already exposed to the virus and that they have natural antibodies. You can do a simply anti body test to check. Here is an interesting fact...those with natural immunity have better antibody results than those who are vaccinated. MSM will never cover this and the corrupt organizations will not expand studies on these things because most are funded/sponsored by big pharma. 

@VeryBlueJay

 You should spend your time on medical online sites, not covers...don't waste your knowledge here...go save the world with your expertise and find the right audience.

"earth is flat".

@GrayMatter2019

 You are the only tool that is being used

@mctrap

 Please!!!! Vaccines are a part of medicine. Polio, measles and rabies Vaccines are mandatory.  Quit drinking the Trump/Republican kool-aid!!!!

dude,are you serious??youre not actually serious are you?talking about vaccines developed over years and years and years and then fairly well proven in terms of safety and efficacy over generations, in comparison to an experimental "trial" medication rushed through at light speed using very new technology.

..cheers for the laughs.the ability to think and apply any sort of basic reasoning/rationale is almost non existent nowadays.

@melossinglet

 we rarely agree but well said, we are basically in a live trial run right now....

so Kyrie cant play at games in NY or Cali???

i havent been following as closely as others

because the "virus" (I mean manufactured crisis) was for the vaccine, not the vaccine for the virus. These morons spent a full year trying to avoid the virus yet to inject it into their arm because CN N said so. Guess what the Delta variant is - yes, the vaccinated dummies who can't think for themselves.

Read post #35: Brooklyn will now NOT allow him to play or practice at all. But this thread is here to document the whole timeline of how the push comes to shove of the vaccine mandates is NOT about the science or immunity. But rather about forced experimental vaccines and control and how that dynamic plays out this year in the NBA. The NBA's player union across the board said a vaccine mandate would be a "non-starter." This thread is also here to counter MSM propaganda with the actual reality behind that fake narrative (see my next post ). An example: "As you've undoubtedly heard, Kyrie has decided (for now at least) that martyring himself for a socio-political issue is more important than helping his team win a championship. So, until he gets vaccinated, he'll have nothing to do with the Nets." Cover's AJ Sahah 10/19....The actual reality is below.

Reading this thread makes me think I read a medical experts not a losing gamblers.
