Test everyone, cancel the G League, bring all guys up, piss off the season ticket holders, keep the schedule until the playoffs.

I think they should shut down while there are teams barely able to put a roster together because the product they're putting out is embarrassing, but I don't think it's as bloodthirsty to keep playing while people are getting Covid as some others do. This isn't spring 2020 anymore, and it's not clear at all that vaccinated players are at significantly greater risk than they would be from other endemic diseases like the flu. Players catching this thing from their teams were going to be exposed elsewhere anyway, just like everyone else. I think drawing the line on playing sick is still a very good thing, and testing is still good, but unless we end up in a situation where delaying getting exposed until we have new and imrpoved vaccines is a clear target to aim for, I think it's appropriate for the response to be very different than it was in 2020.

A big thing is they stopped testing players like they did last year. Last year it would be 1 guy with covid and it'd get caught early (which while not eliminating the chance of spreading, it severely decreases it). Now 1 guy has it for days and spreads it amongst the players on the court, bus, plane, etc. The Players Union is resisting going back to daily testing, and if you aren't going to do that I am not sure what else will have any effect. The stadiums shouldn't be packed but thats probably more on the city than the league, and no politician will ever put in pandemic restrictions again so

There's more than just players to think about though. Some of the coaching staffs are old af.

If you stop thinking about a season as a sacrosanct thing and think of it as an entertainment product that wants to put on as many shows as possible, it makes sense to keep going with whoever is available. The problem with that idea is that no one involved on professional sports views them that way.

Also although it’s possibly not as dangerous as previous variants, places that have high vaccination levels like Denmark are getting totally lit up. The Netherlands and the UK are eating it too and it’s coming with a lot of hospitalizations, so until it’s actually proven to not be as big a deal, probably a good idea to err on the side of caution.Woozie66 posted:If you stop thinking about a season as a sacrosanct thing and think of it as an entertainment product that wants to put on as many shows as possible, it makes sense to keep going with whoever is available.

Also, as a related but broader concern, it’s hard to get other people to take this seriously when you’re packing arenas for the nightly game.

Shut it down for two weeks, come back with testing on all game and practice days, and figure out reduced/no capacity arenas (though honestly that should be the cities regulating that). If that doesn't work you can't run the league but by then the majority of your players probably got it so. This won't happen because the league doesn't want to give up Christmas and the nbapa doesn't want to go back to full testing.
