    John Rham, was DQ'ed from the Memorial tournament because of Covid Protocols and he had been vaccinated, albeit less than two weeks before the incident. The issue is exposure, you can have Covid without symptoms if you are vaccinated and be an contagion risk.

    Ahh buddy did you finally put down the “premium post” cheesiness away? Too bad it was always a good laugh reading that and watch you then proceed to attempt and talk down to everyone here as if your an intellectual savant in every subject matter out there.

    I’m gonna let you in on something you may need to hear. It’s not that premium. Sorry :(

    Stupidity of the league continues to be confirmed as I’ve seen reports that Cp3 is vaccinated. Even lebron and kp breaking these protocols were allowed to play in the playoffs. And we know lebron isn’t vaccinated

    I’ll call nba and their bluff here. Especially when you’re dealing with the presi

    I agree with you.

    Paul is head of the players association as well too.... he is going to have influence over all of this.

    What no is wanting to admit is that had CP3 and Harden remained on the Rockets and remained healthy, this is the year they would have won the title most likely.

    The NBA talks a good game, but everything is for show at the end of the day.

    LeBron could be maskless in a hospital COVID ward and he would be cleared to play.

    Naw, that's not true - if you are vaccinated you will not contract Covid except in a few extremely rare cases, regardless of whether you're subject to its symptoms or not (pre-vaccine). The two week time period matters for sure but in this case, Rahm was not vaccinated prior to Memorial.

    He probably didn’t want to. I’m sure he could’ve had it

    Im a fan of sensationalism as much as the next guy, but the US Civil War was reported to have between 620k - 750k deaths in that one war alone.

    care to share a link because I'm reading reports that he is either not vaccinated or he's not fully vaccinated (2 weeks after 2nd shot unless J&J single shot, but still two weeks).

    If he received just one shot, breakthrough case is not too surprising. Not unlucky, not surprising.

    Breakthrough case can happen even when fully vaccinated (both doses), though chances are small. Unlucky.

    Then it seems either
    a) a double-standard if the NBA looks the other way when LeBron breaks protocol set forth by the league vs CP3 or
    b) CP3 is really only partially vaccinated or received it less than two weeks prior to exposure or
    c) CP3 is really fully vaccinated yet has the worst luck in the world by showing positive COVID results

    The truth is if he was fully vaccinated including wait period, he would not test positive for COVID

    A. we've known there's been a hypocrisy in this from day 1
    B. we don't know the answer to this
    C. you can still test positive even if you're full vaccinated

    It's not that likely but yes you can still test positive even if someone is vaccinated

    Rahm explained that he received the COVID-19 vaccine prior to the Memorial Tournament, but he was still within the 14-day window following the shot and thus not considered fully vaccinated. As a result, he was not exempt from the PGA Tour's contact tracing protocols and was therefore required to be tested daily after coming in close contact with someone who contracted the virus.

    After five days of negative tests, Rahm tested positive Saturday while holding a 6-stroke lead at Muirfield Village. He was informed coming off the green that he would be forced to withdraw from the tournament.

    Breakthrough COVID-19 cases like Chris Paul’s are extremely rare

    Lakers lost Davis
    Denver lost Murray
    Clippers lost KL
    Suns lose might lose CP3

    It would seem that the table has been cleared for the winner of the East. That said....

    The Nets have lost Kyrie, and have James @50% right now.

    I expect Milwaukee to win Game 6 at home. Then , anything can happen in game 7. If they can get past the Nets, I like their chances to win it all.

    Meanwhile, Philly.....
