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

Are they, then, going pay them while they sit out?
Yes. The memo specifies that the unvaccinated will not be paid for missing games due to Covid. [Reply]
Never thought I would say this, But being put in a position to hurt my team because I don’t want to partake in the vaccine is making me question my future in the @Nfl

At the OTA's the Chiefs announce they were at the 85% level. So its already a non-issue for us.
There was a discussion on here somewhere about it. It was the players pressuring players to get the vaccine so they don't miss practice or games. [Reply]

The vaccine also reduces the risk of them transmitting the virus.
I read some preliminary data from a legit scientific study and the preliminary evidence is thats its really rare that a vaccinated person gets no symptoms, tests positive and passes it on to others.
By the time they hit the field, that should be established. [Reply]

Bullshit. The issue is he doesn't want to be forced to take a medical procedure that he isn't comfortable with. You understand the difference, right? [Reply]

Nope they don't, and for his age range the science doesn't even support it.
