Why There Are No NBA Games on Election Day

Original: RE: https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.10tv .com/article/news/nation-world/why-are-there-no-nba-games-on-election-day/50

The NBA schedules no games on US Election Day, a policy that has drawn attention online. Commenters are pointing out that players pushed for this through their union, framing it as a labor victory that gives players and staff the day off to participate in voting rather than work.

Why now: US Election Day is here, prompting discussion of why the league clears its schedule and the union role behind it
