BFF’s make the world go round and among the best fellowships in history comes a recent team-up between OutKick founder Clay Travis and top-5 all-time NBA player LeBron James.
When the common foe is COVID idiocy and hysteria, the two are equipped to hit the fast break and dunk on coronabros with logic. Both forces came together on Friday after James posted a photo perfectly showcasing the nonsense spawned by trying to differentiate a case of COVID from an illness like the common flu.
Clay quoted the image, offering his support — and a friendship bracelet — as the two seemingly agreed to keep healthy, asymptomatic athletes active rather than sidelining them as the NBA and NFL have in recent weeks.
“Did we just become best friends?!” Clay asked, with LeBron dishing emphatic common sense to ardent coronabros.
This wasn’t King James’ first time pushing back on the COVID hysteria.
On Nov. 30, after testing positive for COVID and missing a game against the Sacramento Kings, James tweeted out that the NBA’s testing methods seemed “fishy” as the All-Star forward noticed zero symptoms amid his positive diagnosis. Further PCR testing later revealed that James had a false-positive case, clearing him to play just 24 hours after landing in health and safety protocols and prompting fans to wonder how many players continue to be sidelined at full health.
Becoming aware of their own idiocy with handling COVID, the NBA decided to follow in the footsteps of the NFL by shortening their window for players to return from health and safety protocols. A positive case previously sidelined an NBA player for 10 days, which may include missing up to three games. The new ruling reduced the waiting period to six days.
Phil Mickelson got in on the common sense craze this Christmas Eve — tweeting out how the surge of Omicron in South Africa has showcased a plummeting lethal effect on its hosts, as the illness is promoted in the U.S. as an oncoming winter of despair. (Thanks, Biden.)

To answer Phil’s question. How is Pfizer supposed to make their next $10B if we don’t create hysteria and panic around Omicron?
Truth……..and how`s the Left supposed to use the virus as a distraction to Biden being a complete failure since he took office without the hysteria and panic as well.
Thats it always about fear and control and of course money money money
Greed. That’s what is the sole purpose of our politicians. Corporate greed has always existed but Washington DC is awash in enriching themselves with money and power.
I always find it amusing when those so outspoken for the woke way, have something happen to them they cry foul. What is even better is that people like us (Clay) offer up a hand in friendship; leading them into the light…Way to go Travis!
