Here me out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBA players, coaches, trainers, and support staff should receive COVID-19 vaccinations immediately for the following reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. It will keep players healthy while they entertain us and keep fans at home. For a variety of reasons, the league has decided not to play in a bubble again, despite its 100% success rate of no Coronavirus spread.<\/li>
  2. Teams won’t spread virus while traveling.<\/li>
  3. Sport heroes taking the vaccine will influence others to do so when it’s their turn.<\/li>
  4. The number of doses required to fully protect the NBA is a rounding error given the number of doses needed for the entire population.<\/li>
  5. Rich folks will figure out a way to jump the queue anyway.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Vaccinating NFL teams in playoff contention is a good idea too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
