NBA is partial culprit to thousands of jobs lost to Disney cast members who serviced their ‘bubble’

The 2019-20 NBA season stood on the brink of collapse before Walt Disney World agreed to host an ostentatious tournament at the ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Three hotels would be reserved in addition to incalculable resources from staff to equipment to unique dietary requirements.

For example, did you know how much ice Disney and the NBA provided to its players alone? Imagine each player needs 50 pounds of ice each day for recovery then multiply that times 15 players per team across 22 groups. That’s 16,000 pounds of ice PER DAY in addition to those needed for food and drink purposes.
