NBA to require players to wear sensors as part of contact tracing
ESPN ^ | Dec. 31, 2020 | Baxter Holmes

The NBA is planning to roll out an ambitious aspect of its leaguewide contact tracing program by requiring players and many team staffers to wear sensor devices during all team-organized activities outside of games starting Jan. 7, according to a league memo obtained by ESPN.

Only Tier 1 and Tier 2 individuals -- designations outlined in the league's health and safety protocols that include players and specific staff members, such as coaches -- will be required to wear Kinexon SafeZone contact sensor devices on the team plane, the team bus, during practices and to and from the arena or their home practice facility in connection with team travel, the memo states.

Is this going to begin and end with NBA personnel? Something tells me no.

"The sensors do not record GPS location and will activate when coming within close proximity, which is defined as 6 feet, to another person wearing one"

Well, that’s a good thing.

It’s going to be good practice for wearing ankle monitors when they get out of the NBA................

LOL - contact tracing would turn out to be a who’s who’s of the criminal world. Think of all the high end drug dealers, hookers, organized criminals that group runs with.

Wait..... it only tracks contact with somebody else wearing the same kind of device? Why not a bodycam?

Interesting that thugball players of any sport do not wear masks while playing, but coaches must?

We've come a long way from when slaves had to wear heavy leg irons. Who said plantation owners don't innovate?

Yup—while they are crying about the systemic racism of evil racist white folks they willingly submit to slavery from white folks who “really care about them”.

You can’t fix stupid.

Back in the old slavery days they called the need for slavery “science” and called anyone who disagreed a “denier”.
