Might be interesting to watch the NFL vaccine situation.

This could be a highly visible backfire. I've seen a few players now that are saying hell no.

They're not being political about it, they're just putting their foot down about it being their choice.

If this gains steam it would be highly visible, hard to spin/hide, and the antivax athletes hold some public influence.

TLDR: potential ingredients for some fireworks

They will eventually get in line. Doesn't matter to me though, I'm not watching it anyway.

I hope many games are forfeited. That means millions in lost revenue.

If this hastens an NFL implosion, I say let them fight.

This is a golden opportunity to build real solidarity amongst players league wide and maybe gain back a tad of respect. This could go kinda good or horribly bad for the nfl.

Some big ticket names have put their foot down too. Deandre Hopkins, Cole Beasley and one other CB (forgot his name)

I hate the NFL.
That being said, I support anyone who seeks to make decisions regarding their own health.

It's interesting also, because these guys already have frick you money, and they're completely unpredictable.

Outside of the Lebron brand building dipshits, these guys just do whatever they want to do. Your politics ain't changing their mind.

The situation has some potential.

It's simply hilarious to me to see the same talking heads who proclaimed how awesome it was to see players standing up to the NFL by kneeling for the anthem now proclaim "play by the rules or get another job."

He deleted it which I’m sure was due to a phone call from the puppet masters. Can’t have people expressing themselves freely, not in this country.

Outside of a few QBs no individual player would be able to really influence the league to the point it changes popularity on this issue.

If a team loses a WR it would be forgotten within a couple of weeks as the team would change its play.

I think people would forget QBs and move on to after several weeks.

In other words, they're already well practiced at taking a knee.
This is the same action; different cause.

The anti-American kneelers can do WTF they want. They've made their bed already. At this stage, I couldn't care less.

So why can't they just do what they did last year when nobody had a vax?
NFL pushing the govt agenda.

Forget the vaccine. How the frick is playing a black national anthem unifying? This, by itself, proves how racist and unAmerican the NFL is. frick everyone who continues to watch these fricking babies.
