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
I’ve spoken to NFL players who feel the league changed its tune, going from “it’s your choice” to get the Covid vaccine to now feeling “forced” (their word, not mine) to get it because of the restrictions for unvaccinated guys … https://t.co/LItropZ0m8
What kind of a fucking asshole that is in close confines with teammates day in and day out...and DOESNT want to get vaccinated? I mean, this is just baffling. Back when I got my vaccination shots as a kid in like the early 90s I don't remember anyone giving any shits at all about vaccines. [Reply]

The hell with the vaccine itself, this is about the rights of individuals and if people can be forced to undergo procedures they aren't willing to take by an employer looking to cover their own ass. And it is exactly about that. The easy answer is "well if (person) doesn't like it, they can work elsewhere!", but nobody wants to talk about the slippery slope that creates. [Reply]

again,
The NFL age range of players doesn't support them getting vaccinated. Just like it doesn't support children getting it.

If I was a player I would demand to know every other players communicable diseases and demand that they be removed from playing. [Reply]

Say DeAndre contracts COVID and ends up costing the team a conservative estimate of $50 million as a result of a cancelled game. Who should be responsible for all of that lost revenue? Do all of his teammates and everyone else involved just take the loss?
(And, yes, I know vaccines aren't 100%, but not getting one increases your risk by a factor of 10x to 20x.) [Reply]

You're a dumbshit if you don't get vaccinated. Full stop.
My dads platoon in Desert Storm took an experimental drug. Some did and some didn’t. Out of the 18 who took the drug, 10 of them are in a wheelchair. This is why I choose not to get the vaccine until it’s actually approved [Reply]

Vaccinated team mate gives it Dhop, how do you determine whose fault it is? [Reply]
