One of the biggest questions heading into the 2021-22 NBA season was if the league would require players to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and on Tuesday we got our answer. The league will not require vaccinations for players, according to Baxter Holmes and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The National Basketball Players Association has reportedly refused to budge from its stance against mandatory shots for players.
Very surprised to see the NBA of all leagues has players with balls.

that’s what happens when you promote around the players and not around the teams

This will be a conundrum for a lot of people. Hate required vax but hate the NBA. I say good for them. It should be a choice no matter how dumb it is not to be vaccinated

How are they getting around the "over 100 employees" rule?

Just ignoring it like a lot of other businesses?

Well, the NBA players aren't employees of the NBA. They are employees of teams.

And first of all, it would depend on if the team has 100 "employees". (I imagine most have more depending on how they define "employee")

Second there is the added layer of Union/COntract/Collective Bargaining. That is going to be intersting.

Well yeah but I just assumed most teams hit 100 employees pretty easily.

No conundrum at all. I don’t think anyone should be forced to take a vaccine they don’t want. Lets see the left go after their own on this one.
