The NFL has laid out its strongest incentive yet for players to get the vaccine.
According to a memo shared on Twitter by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the league has mandated that a game cannot be rescheduled due to a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players — and that team will be forced to forfeit, resulting “in a loss for playoff seeding.” (Snip) Additionally, if a game is canceled and cannot be rescheduled, neither team’s players will be paid for the game.
Vaccinated players who test positive can return to the team immediately after two negative tests, while unvaccinated players will be required to isolate for 10 days, according to the memo.

Those poor snowflakes need to just not play. That way that can't spread that nasty old virus that has killed far less than 0.01% of the people of this country.
Wow, remember when real men used to play football?!?!?!? Tough, strong men who loved their country and played for the glory of the sport?!?!?!? They played through injuries in freezing single-digit snowstorms, and just laughed it off.
Yeah, me neither. Sadly, it's been a long, long time...

Apparently they don’t understand that the vaccine will NOT prevent you from catching the wuflu. It is not a magic forcefield of protection that will save you from getting sick with it. All is does is reduce your medical SYMPTOMS when you do catch it. The NFL is totally operating on complete misinformation on what the jab actually does. I’ve been done with the NFL since they got woke and doubt it I well ever watch a game again.

What about if NFL players get the AIDS or get shot in a drive-by, per their new branding?

The NFL should cancel the season. They are political activists now. The football is just to raise the money.

It isn't just the NFL that is pressuring their employees to be vaccinated. My husband's employer gave the employees an option of a) be vaccinated or b) pay for covid tests twice a week. So technically he wasn't forced to be vaccinated however ...

About 609,000 people have died of COVID in the US. Our population is 332 million. We might want to check our math a little bit to ensure our site is pure and factual.

And why would they care? They still get paid, though I am wondering how long they will be able to pay the ridiculous salaries being demanded while hemorrhaging fans.

At least if they get the vaccine they will be less likely to run out of the money from the good years since they will succumb to late sequelae two decades early.

Always fast and loose with the truth, aren’t you, #9?The figures that people are quoting on survival rates for Covid are accurate, according to the CDC. In addition, those death statistics include people who have died with Covid, not from Covid. But, you know that, don’t you?

I hope the NFL gets sued into oblivion.
On the matter re: #9 - And you know this how? Pathology reports? Do you even bother to contemplate the difference between deaths with COVID and deaths from COVID? While I do not criticize your choice to be vaccinated, if indeed you have been, I object to your serial criticism of those who choose otherwise.

So will the Texas jumpers testing positive, have to forfeit their votes, since they are causing harm with their actions?

Not so #5 the vaccines are to PREVENT Covid, not reduce symptoms. No where in any of the vaccines literature does it state that the vaccine is to reduce symptoms. I have provided a link at the bottom, read it for yourself.
From Moderna Fact Sheet:
WHAT IS THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?
The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID-19. There
is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?
In an ongoing clinical trial, the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine has been shown to prevent
COVID-19 following 2 doses given 1 month apart. The duration of protection against COVID-19
is currently unknown.

I wonder when we will discover what the "punchline" of this "vaccine" joke is?
Will it be that you'll need an annual "maintenance" shot, sold only by Pfizer, to stay alive? (Unlimited $$)
Will it be that you will just die from the long term effects of the shot?
Will it be that you will be sterile?
Those two would please the econazis who claim that humans are disease of their beloved Gaia.
I don't think it will be "you won't get sick from Wuhan flu ever again", because that has already proven to be a falsehood.
When will the punchline be dropped?

This is all about Big government and big Business
playing the roles of Good Cop / Bad Cop.
These business institutions are trying to work with the communist regimes
to take the pressure off of their ultimate goal.

Where is Ed Garvey when you actually have a meat and potatoes union issue to battle? And this ain't players and owners.
Which owners are going to challenge? You guys are capitains of industry, these franchises are billion dollar hobbies. You gonna get pushed around by bureaucrats and the bellhops you support in congress and the Senate. They carry your bags, not the other way around.
Not Obama, not the government, not the Chinese. Shut. It. Down. Have some self respect.

If people understood more about the immune system and its natural ability to defend the body from bacteria and viruses, they perhaps wouldn't be as hostage to the fear-mongering that's been occurring regarding Covid-19.

I could give a rats arse about thugball, but i think all players should be forced to take steroids, pre treat injuries with double dose of oxycotin. This rule makes everyone who sits in Dr..office, filling out Hippa forms look stupid.
