Why can't the USA learn something from the NBA?

While nobody was looking, the N.B.A. figured out how to fight inequality.

'Humans need it': Will a lack of sex force players to break the NBA's bubble?
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/ ... bas-bubble

The need to limit contact to minimise the risks of spreading the virus is obvious, but one prominent pundit questioned whether libidinous players will adhere to the rules. “Do we really think that the ‘recreational activities’, what these guys are accustomed to, are going to be compromised for three months?” Stephen A Smith thundered on ESPN.



“You really think that people are going to be without their wives or their woman?” he added. “Forget three months – they’re going to struggle with three weeks… I’m telling you, they’re going to violate the bubble.” Many players would have preferred to be sequestered in Las Vegas rather than Disney World, he added, given Sin City’s more adult-oriented panoply of diversions.

they are allowed to bring people with them, as long as they abide by the bubble, right?

Not to be graphic, but can you imagine trying to have safe sex in the time of COVID? You'd have a naked person with a mask on their face and a rubber or other prophylactic on their nether regions. Sooner or later we'll just all wear full body suits when we do the nasty.

I had to do a triple take, but the left-handed form confirmed it eventually.

Do you think he really has a sprained ankle? The "out 7-10 days" is exactly the length of time somebody would be out for violating the COVID quarantine. They wouldn't say it was an ankle sprain to give him cover, would they?

Could have put this in the other thread but that has a solid discussion going about the current team so I will leave this here
I don't have Netflix but would be interesting to hear what else is said about his time with the Suns. I was lurking in the shadows reading as a guest back then but interested in y'all comments
