Really. In response to the H1N1 virus, the Boston Herald is reporting that NBA “players and coaches have been asked to greet each other via more sanitary means of contact, like fist pounding, or maybe chest bumps.”
You would think this was a story from The Onion, mocking the swine flu hysteria that’s swept the nation. “Or isn’t that exactly what swine flu would want you to think? MUHAHAHA!!!!”
In fact, this is 100% serious, and the NBA’s not taking any chances. Hooray for “fist-bumps”!
UPDATE: We were duped!
