Here’s more from today’s memo, which also says the team responsible for a canceled game because of an outbreak among unvaccinated players/staff will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner. Wow. pic.twitter.com/Q86a2WcG1K

That's not an argument. It's not productive. It's not persuasive.
But then, I guess, . . . it if it relieves your own ill-temper for a moment, I guess go ahead and ventilate.
We can continue this topic in DC, if you'd like. I'm not going to drag this thread down any further. It's probably bound for the political forum soon, anyway.
NFL to Enforce Forfeits in Event of COVID-19 Cancellation
The NFL announced Thursday it will not allow games to be rescheduled in 2021 in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak.
The league's new policy was announced in a memo sent to all 32 teams. If a team is forced to cancel a game due to COVID-19 infections among its non-vaccinated players, said the team will likely have to forfeit the contest, per the NFL's memo. Organizations that cause cancelations in 2021 could also face discipline from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
COVID-19 forced a number of postponements during the 2020 season, though all teams played the entire 16-game schedule. There were no postponements in the playoffs, and Super Bowl was held as scheduled on Feb. 7.
The 2021 season is slated to begin on Thursday, Sept. 9 when the Buccaneers host the Cowboys.

I would be absolutely fucking pissed off beyond belief if some dumbfuck player, who refused to be vaccinated, cost the Chiefs a higher seeding in the playoffs because they had to forfeit a game.
And you can damn sure bet that player would be a pariah, far beyond the likes of Lin Elliott, Neil Smith, Elvis Grbac and Dee Ford.
That player would carry that shit for life. [Reply]

It's going to be approved by the FDA in September. We'll have maybe 2 months more data about vaccines than now. Do you really think that's going to make a huge difference? [Reply]

What in the actual ****? It's rare but it certainly happens. Also who the hell knows if kids who survive are still getting permanent lung, neurological or other issues from this stuff?
���� 4 y.o. Rhyan da Silva Fraga from Vila Isabel #Brasil died from COVID. His grandmother said he was a Flamengo fan. “He loved to sing Gabigol's song... and now? He's dead. I will never be able to see him again in my life”#SoulsLostToCovid 5/40 https://t.co/kSduweVQPcpic.twitter.com/DXjlKRGzuq
���� 9 y.o. Makenzie Gongora from San Antonio, #Texas developed a really bad headache and stomachache at an after-school care center, then tested positive for COVID.

“(Makenzie’s parents) followed all of the guidelines that they were given from the doctors, and the doctors as well are baffled (as to) why Makenzie was one of the children that was taken by COVID,” Gongora said.

Hey look it's an article from before the world went batshit crazy.

NFL medicals staffs encourage or mandate the flu vaccine to help prevent the spread of seasonal illness.
College football programs have required all kinds of vaccinations for years. [Reply]

You're advocating fascism...where unelected corporations take on the roll of personal governance...no ****ing thanks. Shit...they could fire me a week after I take the vaccine...then I'm on my own.
Being a football player is a specialized profession. They cant simply just go make the same living somewhere else.. [Reply]

I think you need to stop using the stereotype of "anti vaxxers"...this isn't a typical situation...like an influenza shot.
You have no legal/financial recourse if this vaccine ****s you up...you sign that option away. It was also never properly vetted long term...it's still not FDA approved.
Essentially no one knows what this vaccine will do down the road...anyone saying otherwise is FOS. [Reply]

Your health decision is impacting others at the job and possibly the company itself. Stay the fuck away from us you booger eating infowars reading tard [Reply]

An RT I know was in the room when a non-vaccinated person was saying goodbye to his family on a phone. He told his brother to make sure that Covid is not the cause of his death on the death certificate. He thinks he was making a joke but the brother didn’t. [Reply]

You are one of the dumbest, superficial people on here...I dont expect you to understand what fascism is...or its implications...you only know what is happening right this second and if it gratifies you...your ****ing name is Titty Meat...yes...you chose that.
No worries...I have zero desire to ever be remotely close to you. [Reply]

You keep describing this shit as fascism.
Again, I've said it multiple times, but I think it's some bizarre desire of yours to actually see fascism in this country. So you can be a noble hero about it on the internet or some shit.
This isn't fascism. You'll fucking know when it's real fascism, because you'll probably be dead. [Reply]
