The NBA informed teams Friday that all personnel under team control who work within 15 feet of players or referees during games will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the upcoming season, according to a memo obtained by ESPN. The directive specifically includes coaches, front-office members and trainers but stops short of requiring all players to be vaccinated. – via Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps @ ESPN

Yeah, just saw this. Makes zero sense if you’re also not going to mandate the players to do so, given, you know, that they’re the ones who are actually making significant close contact with each other. It’s like mending 3 of 5 holes in a bucket and expecting the bucket to stay full - yeah, it’ll stay full a little longer due to fewer holes, but there’s still holes in the bucket.

But, alas, too afraid to p off the moneymakers of the league!

They should also and esp be vaxxing the players. They make the most contacts in the sport, and any league sports in general.

Referees must be vaccinated now, too, but still no players.

Makes no sense

All should be vaccinated

New hospitalization/4th wave proves the unvaccinated is a pain in the butt for all

Doesn’t that have to be negotiated in the CBA?

It does.  I’m in a union that sees this as an opportunity to negotiate, which ticks me off.  I’d rather my fellow union holdouts get vaccinated, and am considering leaving the union because of it.

Should be 100k. Providing incentives so the ignorant don't potentially kill others? I'm ok with it.

Lol, at some point those incentives become incentives for people to hold out for incentives.

I don’t think doctors are holding out giving vaccines for the sake of incentives.

I was mostly making fun of the idea, but if you don't think many doctors would hold out if 100k bonuses or the like were on the table, you don't know enough doctors.

Yep.  Which is why it took some time for the Refs to be included as they also had to have that negotiated.

Is this going to end up screwing us on Schroder? I believe he was not a fan of the vaccine.

I’m fairly sure if the league negotiates a deal with the players that everyone has to be vaccinated or else that Schröder will find his love of $5.9 million exceeds his hatred of vaccines.
