The NBA is reportedly instituting a very strict mask policy.

According to Shams Charania, starting Tuesday the league will mandate players wear a mask on the bench if they haven’t yet entered the game, coaches, staff members and players must have a mask on “when outside team setting and indoor” and players “are strongly recommended” to wear a mask as soon as they exit the game.

As I’ve said many times, I’m not some anti-mask zealot at all. I wear one when I’m at the store, and I wear one other places where it’s required.

I certainly don’t have the energy or time to argue about masks with everyone. If it’s mandated to go shopping, then so be it.

However, mandating masks while sitting on the bench in the NBA is so dumb. It’s just as stupid as the NFL mandating masks for coaches and fining those who don’t comply.

The NBA is aware that these players are in locker rooms together, right? They eat together, practice together, spend time with each other outside of team activities and I’m confident they’re not always wearing masks.

Yet, they better not take off their mask on the bench! If they do, then we’re going to have problems! It makes no sense.

I’m all for being safe and smart, but I’m also for common sense. Wearing a mask on the bench is the most pointless attempt at safety I’ve seen out of the NBA.
