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.

How long before we start hearing how racist it is to force mostly black players to wear the equivalent of ankle brackets?

I wonder if the sensors are equipped with a syringe loaded with a euthanasia drug in case they wander somewhere they aren’t supposed to go. Oh wait, that will only be available for the general population not the government workers or elites once president Harris decrees it.

The sensors will also tell the owners what strip joints they frequent.
