The Tampa Bay Times reports that Tampa WR Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols.
The lesson from this for Brown, a lesson he has repeatedly failed to learn, should probably be: Remember to pay money to the people you owe money to. This was reportedly leaked by a former personal chef. It's unclear what -- if any -- fallout Brown will face from the NFL and/or his team for this. But it's press that the team did not need and it flies in the face of Bruce Arians' claim that the team was 100% vaccinated.
EXCLUSIVE: Bucs receiver Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols, according to his former live-in chef.

All he had to do was follow the non vaccinated protocols.
You are arguing in irrelevant part of the topic which is whether the policies should be in place in the NFL, that's not the point.
I assure you, the NFL cares.
CVS/WALMART handed these cards out like candy. How the fuck are you going to prove it?
AB should have just paid a hobo to take it for him. Lmao everyone getting worked up about a fucking poster card is retarded.
"OmG AB had a fake vaccine card"
NONE OF YOU WOULD GIVE A FUCK if it was found out he had a fake license when he was 18 so he could buy beer. So stop fucking acting like this is some moral outrage. [Reply]

Who's outraged? Most comments I've seen are pointing and laughing at how dumb he is to do it. [Reply]

Yeah you might be right. But it is dumb the NFL treats their players different based on status.
but then doesn't........ If I remember correctly, did A. Rodgers play this week? or was that the vaccinated Ben Roethlisberger who sat with COVID designation?

You cannot make rules and when publicly broken do nothing or no rule you make means shit.
Its a stupid rule, but too late now to fix that.
The head coach is a total POS if he makes no move
How exactly are you going to prove it tho? The NFL or the Team going to draw blood? And what exactly are they going to look for in the blood to prove he either got it or didn't..... [Reply]

I believe they keep records of the vax at the place he allegedly received it. [Reply]
Any attempt by team personnel or players to use a forged or fake vaccination card would be reviewed under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. It also would be a federal criminal offense. https://t.co/Ixt1fWxpjF

This shit is stupid.
The difference is when they tested positive. If Rodgers was vaccinated he likely wouldn't have missed any games.
Conversely, Ben tested positive the same time in the week as Rodgers he likely wouldn't have missed any games either. But he tested positive the day before the game. [Reply]

They keep records when a card is handed out. I believe they do duplicate cards, give one to the person and keep the other in their records.
Ask Brown where he got the vaccination and then check. If Brown refuses to tell, then he is guilty. It's like refusing to take a Breathalyzer test when pulled over. [Reply]
