The NFL informed clubs today any team employee who refuses a COVID-19 vaccination without “bona fide medical or religious ground” will be barred from Tier 1 or Tier 2 status, and thus have restricted access within the team facility and not work directly with players, per sources.
Here’s the full NFL memo, which also says teams must report weekly the number of employees who are vaccinated, as conversations with the NFLPA continue on the thresholds at which protocols on testing, PPE, travel, etc., can be relaxed. pic.twitter.com/FXuIhFP6Vh

Since it is not the government your point is off-target. Although we might see that coming soon as well.

Are you seriously this naive?
Teams will just replace those employees that will not take the vaccine due to the fact of them not being able to do their jobs effectively or adequately. Everyone that works in an NFL organization has now been leveraged to take the shot or lose your career. [Reply]

This person should be turned in to authorities and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. You are complicit in this fraudulent activity and should also be held accountable. [Reply]

I did not mention the Government-it is the sheep of this country that are letting corporations like MLB and the NFL dictate and control their private health choices.
Forcing an employee to take an experimental vaccine that is proving to have serious short-term side effects and not having any idea what the long-term problems could be is a few steps down from what China is doing to their citizens.
Want to go to the Chiefs Home Opener? Better get your Vax papers in order comrade. [Reply]

People can be concerned all they want about a vaccine and no one is going to ever change their mind, but based on the current odds of 6 in 7,000,000, "proving to have serious short-term side effects" is the equivalent to saying that going outside has serious side effects because you might get hit by lightning twice on your way to get the vaccine.
Or in other words, you should be in the ballpark of 200 times more afraid of dying from the flu. [Reply]

Do you consider the chance of dying an adverse reaction?
The same people shitting on a virus that has killed 560k people and counting are worried about 6 people who've had a serious side effect from a shot millions have taken. You cant make this shit up. [Reply]

And yet you just did.
Sorry if you can't see the difference between having a Choice to take a vaccine not approved by the FDA and being Forced to by your employer. [Reply]
What about Long-term side effects? I guess we are not supposed to worry about that.
So, now we're up to ~900 out of 90,000,000? Have you done the odds on that?
I'm not one to tell other people what to be worried about... people can do the math or just let their side of the media make the choice for them or shop for confirmation on youtube.
Other idiots who are terrible at math are why I've had to wear a mask outside for spring training games while 10+ feet from anyone else.... but even then, I'd probably still have a higher chance of catching Covid and dying than dying from a vaccine. [Reply]
