And indeed, it is so. The MTA, the state agency that runs the subway, got the Nets new head coach to record a PSA (public service announcement) advising straphangers to do their civic duty...
The 10-second message is heard in 388 (out of 472) stations across the city. It’s part of the MTA’s “Wear a mask, save a life” program. Nash is one of several sports and entertainment figures in the city who’ve recorded personalized messages. John Franco, the Mets legend, recorded his last month...
“Hey, this is John Franco. I saved 276 games for the New York Mets and now I’m asking you to make a few saves of your own – by wearing a mask on public transit,” Franco said in the PSA recording. “You’ll keep yourself safe, others safe, and you may even save a life or two.”
So take his advice, wear a mask!
