NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday the league has discussed having players receive COVID-19 vaccines to educate and influence the public regarding their safety and effectiveness.
"There have been discussions. It's something we're particularly focused on," Silver said at a virtual conference hosted by Sportico.
"In the African American community, there's been enormously disparate impact from COVID ... but now, somewhat perversely, there's been enormous resistance [to vaccinations] in the African American community for understandable historical reasons. ... If that resistance continues, it would be very much a double whammy to the Black community, because the only way out of this pandemic is to get vaccinated."

The program will be called:
“Jab the Jerks”
So basically the NBA jumping the line cause they take a ball and put it through a hoop to entertain people for a living
It will be very sad to see them literally drop dead on the court because of the jab.
I’ll be sure to get one then. All lebron no lebrains signature series vaccine? NOT!
The violent criminals in society would be “drug the thugs.”
What happened to the 65 and older folks, the science tell us they are most vulnerable? Oh, too many older people voted for Trump. I see.
Where have I heard that ‘we should protect the most vulnerable?’
Typical Dem action. Take care of the celebrities before the seniors and elderly; they aren’t privileged.
Sorry about your grandmother, but we had to priortize young men in top physical condition.
Because shut up.
I will take ... “How to jump worthless people to the front of the que” for $500.
Alex, how about "How to jump worthless people to the front of the que” for $1,000.
Remember democrsats emptying prisons and jails because they were so worried about criminals getting covid?
he
When democrats are in charge the vaccine priorities will flip - criminal, rapists, thugs and murderers will be first in line... followed by Hollywood ‘stars’, thugball players of all stripes, liberal politicians and their friends and families, the ‘homeless’, gang members, DOJ, FBI, CIA, illegals ... then American citizens in flyover.
I could be wrong but I suspect this will be the new order.
If the “African American”(RACIST) Community doesn’t want to get vaccinated, how does that cause a double whammy on the Black community??
confused?
ps, a Hyphenated American is by definition a RACIST!!!
Good one there. I agree that NBA players are a bunch of jerks. They’ll just continue to alienate fans. I guess they don’t care because if they only appeal to half of the country that is still 150 million people.
Don’t they know that Trump was responsible for creating the vaccines? Shouldn’t that be enough for them to boycott the vaccines?
Before grandma?
