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

I wouldn't be surprised if there were more changes or if these changes get rolled back. It seems like a possible lawsuit for something like discrimination. People may not like it but the Covid vaccine is going to be required to do more and more things.
I interviewed for a supervisory position at a hospital today. Part of that interview was an acknowledgment of things that are required. The flu vaccine, Pneumonia vaccine, and the Covid vaccine were all on the list with several other things. [Reply]

No one is forcing anyone to do anything. They just wouldn't be able to have player contact. Makes coaching harder but not impossible. Nobody's job is dependent on getting a vaccine. Although it is a powerful incentive, it is not a forced requirement. [Reply]

It’s also not the government doing it, but that’s a minor detail when saying dumb things like this country is going communist. [Reply]
