Soooo you might get a forfeit if there’s an unvaccinated player “outbreak”. What if the “outbreak” is caused by vaccinated players / staff bringing it in and passing it around?



In that very unlikely scenario the league will try to reschedule to accommodate instead of a forfeit

A vaccinated player only needs 2 days of consecutive negative tests to be back on the field if they do test positive so the chances of an outbreak of vaccinated players happening to the point where a cancellation was needed is nearly zero

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday that the NFL sent a memo to its clubs stating that if a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week schedule due to a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will forfeit and be credited with a loss, per sources informed of the situation. In addition, players on both teams will not be paid for the lost contest, and the team responsible for the cancelled game due to unvaccinated players will cover financial losses and be subject to potential discipline from the Commissioner's office.


So an unvaccinated player goes from home to the facility and back home. A vaccinated player or staffer brings the virus into the building and it’s Saturday of week 16. Sunday, tests are given and to many text positive. How does unvaccinated not get completely blasted by media, fined, and possibly released for doing nothing wrong?

I'd sue the ever living frick out of the Vikings if I'm the assistant. What a clown fricking world we live in.

And those are based on the ability to do a job. A vaccinated status has no bearing on one's ability to coach.

Considering vaccinated coaches aren’t allowed on the field, aren’t allowed in certain rooms, and could lead to an outbreak and players missing games, I would say you are wrong

Must be his choice, the league isn’t telling them they need to get the vaccine or be fired. They’re mandating that if a coach isn’t vaccinated they cannot be Tier 1 status, i.e. they can’t be on the field, in meeting rooms or directly interacting with players.

I would absolutely fire any coach that isnt vaccinated. They are basically worthless to the team

Well yeh. Same reason why Kamala and Biden said no to supporting the vax when running for office

I mean you’re exactly right lol. People refusing to get the vaccine are not the only ones responsible for mask mandate coming back but certainly contribute to it. Should be more consequences in place to increase vaccinations. 99% of hospitalized patients right now are unvaccinated and people STILL won’t consider getting it for no valid reason (at least that I’ve heard)




You from the DNC?

Your Emmy winning hero Cuomo was the best


quote:

Cuomo went further, suggesting he mistrusted not just President Donald Trump, but also the Food and Drug Administration under Trump. Asked about his confidence in the FDA, Cuomo indicated he didn’t have much.
“I’m not that confident,” Cuomo said, adding: “You’re going to say to the American people now, ‘Here’s a vaccine, it was new, it was done quickly, but trust this federal administration and their health administration that it’s safe? And we’re not 100 percent sure of the consequences.’ I think it’s going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine, and they should be.”

Do you submit yourself to x-rays when you walk through TSA or do you drive everywhere like a true rebel?

Uh, it's just Biden and Kamala clips. To be fair, Biden hedged with a bunch of crap about how it must be tested, transparent, have great weight of support among scientists, etc. But, that stupid bitch just straight up says at the end if Trump tells us to take it, she's not taking it.
