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.

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.
Maybe Brown self-vaccinated like Ruggs self-tested his alcohol test.
Aaron Rogers did not lie to the NFL or his teammates, only to the media and fans. [Reply]

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.
Rodgers will loan him the $14,600 when he gets fined. [Reply]
Federal officials should not intervene or punish Brown.
As for the NFL, they should suspend him 1-2 weeks without pay. If he hadn't been previously exposed to covid, I could see a 4 week suspension but given he already had it, his teammates were less at risk than they otherwise would have been. [Reply]
I mean, if someone had asked you which NFL player was most likely to get caught with a fake vaccine card - AB would have been the most obvious choice, right?

Least shocking news ever.
Agreed. The most shocking revelation in this thread is how many people don't have BleedingRed on ignore. [Reply]
Can we just talk about the overall failure of the entire league in general this year?
Kind of started with the Andy/Britt situation, the DeShaun Watson disaster, then on to multiple Covid violations/issues, Gruden email scandal, Henry Ruggs kills a person driving drunk, Damon Arnette goes ape shit, Zac Stacy (former player) gets caught on camera literally destroying his girlfriend.
What a disaster. These clowns need to get their act together. [Reply]
