it even has the new expiration date in my nba profile but I haven’t logged in since the year ended. I got this card last month after losing my wallet in Mexico

I just assumed the payment would be declined and all would be good. They don’t give refunds either according to their site

maybe you gave them your bank acct number which would stay the same .
 
I see the Lakers have announced that everyone on the team will be vaccinated by the start of the season. What about Portland?

Can unvaccinated players play at the Rose Garden?

I think its only teams in cities that require vaccines that have disclosed anything on this (NY, SF, LA)

I believe the entire team was last season. Unsure of our new additions. I'm sure it will be brought up on Monday at media day.

Most people don't realize their card companies have a convenience service that automatically updates merchants with the new number and expiration date. Not all do, but it's pretty common.

It’s weird because other services I had to update my card and this one I didn’t. If I don’t get the refund @illmatic99 wanna buy my login for $100 lol you can use a vpn

Blazers should announce that the only visiting players that can play at the Moda are the UNvaxxed ones.

That way we'll go undefeated at home!

NY and SF…… if you are unvaccinated on the home team, you can’t play…… visiting unvaccinated players can. That’s what I posted last month…. Kyrie will only be able to play 39 games this season as of right now.
 
"religious exemption", if i get this correctly, his religion forbides him to take vaccine or at least hes using religion as excuse not to take it

if something can help you save your health, how is that forbiden by any religion, it makes no sense, its sheer logic

The argument some are using is that human stem cells, originally harvested from aborted fetuses, were used in the development of the vaccine. The problem with that argument is that they are used in hundreds of medications we use every day.
 
mandatory vaccination is fucked up, i disagree with it completely

it wasnt problem in the bubble or last season, but it is now, fuck off with that bs

it wasn't a problem in the bubble because there wasn't a vaccine last year in the bubble, and they were able to keep all the players in the same location AND we're dealing with 28 different cities and countries vs 1 designated area.

they played last season without being vaccinated (although later in the season they started doing it), blazers themselves got vaccinated in the april

if they couldve do it then, they can do it now too and its wrong to forbid someone to play bball cause they dont want to get vaccinated, ultimately, vaccinated or not, you can get infected by the virus

wasn't it one of those convenience services for Mastercard that got hacked and gave out info on several million cardholders?

I'm not sure which incident that was and what it pertained to...

The only thing I can think of is, it might be that only certain payment gateways participate in the program and that didn't include the other merchants you had to update your info with.

1) It wasn't widely available until late in the season. 2) It wasn't FDA approved until this month, so mandates couldn't have been made last season. 3) Facts matter.

1) yet they played in 28 different cities and it wasnt a problem, otherwise they would suspend the season 2) i have no idea what fda is (im not from the us), but mandates are wrong 3) i agree

Then look it up, so you're somewhat informed on the topic you're speaking on. Vaccines only had emergency authorization until this month, so nothing could have been fully required a year ago even if the league wanted it.

i really dont see what this has to do with the fact that nba was played in 28 cities without vaccination and it worked perfectly fine, so why is it a problem to play unvaccinated now (i know, its mandatory now, but why make it mandatory when it worked perfectly fine without vaccination)... obviously, no-one can force you to take the vaccine, but they can forbid you to play bball and thats so wrong

Some things are bigger than basketball.
 
WesleyMatthews said:
I and others don't believe it's wrong.

It's not the NBA requiring vaccines, it's a few cities requiring it. Those cities have elected officials and populations that support requiring vaccines. Personally I support requiring vaccines too. There's no scientific reason to not be up to date on all vaccines.

I would think a robot would follow science and fact.

this wiggins thing sounds like nba has something to do with it, given he asked nba for "religious exemption" and was denied by the nba

Maybe Wiggins wants to get out of all the testing and quarantine the NBA is requiring of non vaccinated players.
 
On a different topic (please!).

https://nba.nbcsports.com/2021/09/2...-at-former-team-usa-director-colangelo-f-him/

Another player losing his shit because somebody said something mean about him. Love is on the short list for worst contract in the NBA. What Colangelo said about him was true. Here's a radical idea: maybe instead of whining, Love could act like an adult, get back in shape, and actually work to earn his millions.

I know - I'm talking crazy.
