RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME

This is so wrong it’s complete BS those Unvaccinated players should not be allowed to even play

Stupid decision.

Bullshit !

Just shake my head. Why our government capitulates to professional sports is beyond absurd. Where's Harry Sinden ?

Yeah…that’ll happen.

Yet I have to be fully vaxxed to eat at a restaurant but unvaccinated players can play and enter our country. I guess it's true money talks and bullshit walks. I'm not a big NBA millionaire so I get nothing.

Yet every fan has to be vaxxed to enter the arena

Don’t like this. Same rules should apply as the employees, fans, etc.

To many exceptions, no vaccinations, can’t play. Enough all ready

Ridiculous

Good for thee, but not for we.

What a fucking joke. People trying to eat McDonald's are getting arrested but these guys get exempted. Wow I'm rolling right now.

So everyone else who walks into the building has to demonstrate proof of vaccination but we’ll kiss the asses of prima dona athletes? vacines

This is wrong. Not vaccinated, no entry to the country.

Ugh.

But nhl players dont get this same exemption? Makes no sense. Basketball players sweat on the ball, floor, and each other a lot more than hockey players do and yet...

Vaccines should be mandatory in the nba. nba nbapa GetVaccinated

Players should be required to be vaccinated or they don’t play or get paid. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

NBA JustinTrudeau Y’all soft. You had a chance to do the right thing. The bar was set so low and you still fucked it up.

Animal Farm at its finest!

Why exactly is it in our “National Interest” to let plague rats into our country to play a game? The NBA should go the NHL route and not pay them for any games in TOR It’s way past time that we stop pandering to the morons who are selfishly deciding to draw out this pandemic.

Nah just have them not be able to play

'We will not boost our way out of this pandemic,' CDC director says as 70 million eligible Americans remain unvaccinatedThree-quarters of eligible Americans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and some are now able to receive an additional booster shot. Good now that we established you’ll never get everyone vaccinated, can we live life again? Normies: how do you feel about goal posts always moving since 15 days to flatten the curve? Now countrieslike Israel is classing anyone without out a booster, as non vaccinated, even tho they may be double vaxed. This vaccine push by pharma and bought-out politicians is never ending.
