Cobbs, from Montenegro to Bologna by car: the odyssey of play no vax

The strange story of Justin Cobbs. Which is not so strange. It looks more like a mixture of persistence and lucid planning. The story is as follows: on Tuesday evening Virtus Bologna hosted Buducnost, a team from Podgorica (Montenegro), at the Paladozza in an important and delicate challenge of the first phase of Eurocup. The black Vs, cut down by Covid and injuries, lost and the basket that closed the match was signed by Cobbs with 18 seconds left.

What’s wrong? That the talented American playmaker of the Montenegrins is radically no vax and refuses any kind of vaccine. So, apparently, he got in the car and from Montenegro arrived in Italy and showed up at the Bologna sports hall. Not a secondary detail: the player was unable to reach the team at the hotel or even go down to the locker room, so he got out of the car, probably already dressed after having eaten his packed lunch, slipped onto the pitch and played and then left immediately. after. An odyssey possible thanks to the swab made at departure and the one processed to enter Italy. This provides for the legislation for athletes engaged in national and international sports competitions that take place in Italy. The narrative is also taking, in these hours, a little less apocalyptic contours: Cobbs would have reached Ljubljana with a private plane and from there he would have continued by car up to the Two Towers. But the substance does not change. What you don’t do about basketball, salary, and your (controversial) beliefs.
