    Good to hear. Lebron getting vaxed will be a strong vaccine endorsement.

    Vaccinated players should come together and refuse to play unless a mandate is put in place.

    I agree. Vaccinated players hold all the power.

    I don't think the players care that much about 40 players. It's a union right, so it's not an easy step to go against your own people.

    Robin Lopez who has a twin brother on the Bucks who won the championship totally threw shade at unvaccinated people in an interview lol.

    "Im still not sure that Milwaukee won the Championship. I wasn't there. I didn't watch the game myself. So, I guess I'll go off the basis of, there's got to be some kind of proof. I'm gonna do my own research and figure out if they won it."

    Strong Response by the NBA. Unvaccinated players cannot play in NY (Nets, Knicks) or San Francisco (Golden State)
    Those players who do not play because they are unvaccinated will not be paid.

    https://www.si.com/nba/2021/09/29/nb...d-games-missed

    Weirdly, the Canadian Federal government has taken the opposite stance and will let un-vaccinated players into Canada to play games on a "national interest" exemption
    https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/unva...ed-into-canada

    I think this is really stupid for 2 reasons:
    1. It shows the Federal Government is prepared to put certain money over health concerns and gives all kinds of arguments to un-vaxxed people. There should not be exceptions.
    2. It could hurt the Raptors. As a fully vaccinated team the Raptors are leading by example, why not have the team's back and bar unvaccinated players, to reinforce point 1 and, to help them win! (minor point but I mean why not).

    We (lets say specifically Ontario) have been letting international flights in during the whole pandemic / our own lockdowns. These were both vaccinated / unvaccinated. Just status quo...

    NBA would likely tell Toronto to go back to Tampa if they didn't comply. That's what I'm thinking. With 1 team in Canada, maybe the fear was the NBA would ask Toronto to move to comply with it.

    Agreed. This is the height of stupidity.

    I guess I did actually know this upon thinking about it. But there are isolation requirements right?

    Different requirements depending on your vaccination 'status' (This is in the now)
    I don't know about non-vaccinated now that the vaccine is readily available, but in Ontario (specifically) it wasn't readily available for a long time.
