The Athletic article

Sorry for the paid site link but the story is rather short and doesn't provide many specifics.


quote:

The NBA denied Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins' request for a religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine, the league announced Friday, meaning he will not be allowed to play in Golden State's home games without vaccination.

The San Francisco Department of Health requires vaccination for all people 12 years and older in order to attend large indoor events. Wiggins had applied for a religious exemption from the rule.

Religious exemption. What a pussy move. If you use that, you should fully embrace and live as “god” made you. Naked. No medicine. No Heathcare. Just pray the sick away.

If you are going to try and claim a religious exemption for a vaccine maybe don't be so vocal about how you'll take it you are forced to by your job. Kind of let's everyone know your religion claim is bullshite.

The NBA: Supporting Wokeism but Peasants aren't allowed to have Religious Beliefs

Sounds like communism

But away teams are allowed to put a player on the court that isn’t vaccinated?

Not surprising, considering it’s California.

I wonder why an NBA player can’t find a doctor or nurse who would “miss” with the needle but still put him in the system and give him a card

Why is the N.B.A. ruling on a San Francisco mandate?

So what shot?

The DNA alter shot or the extremely less effective basically flu shot?

What's acceptable? What's the goalpost?

And if its so important, why is there not a uniform vaccine? You know, like Polio. Just Corporations competing?

But you have no protected right to p!ay in the NBA. Religious exemption? He isn't being drafted by the US military to kill. He was drafted by the NBA to make buckets.

NBA player can do whatever he wants. As long as he isn't relying on someone else to support his livelihood. That's how Capitalism works. If you need a job, then they can dictate terms of employment.

You wanna farm, farm...be self-employed, do what you want, live free.

Sue the frick out of the state of Cali and city of San Fran.


Only way to stop these jack asses is with lawsuits. Once these cities begin losing suits and their insurance companies have to begin paying(or if self insured, people at top realize they are paying off large suits), the bullshite stops.
