They just made it clear that if a team has to cancel a game because of an unvaccinated player getting covid-19 the game must be played within the 18 weeks and if not it's a loss( considered a forfeit). Guys who eat 10 hot dogs and are 320 pounds are not getting vaccinated.

Not more than 3% of NFL players should be taking the vaccine.

They should just inject the vaccine in the hot dog -- nobody seems to care what's in that.

going to be hilarious when an already vaccinated player gets it

Definitely not Indianapolis or Washington.

Take their futures UNDER.

[Roger T. Bannon]

They made through without a vaccine. They will make it through with one.

[d2bets]

Serious handicappers are going to need to take this into account, especially when wagering early in the week. It's going to happen. Unvaxxed players are going to get infected and miss games. We need to find out who these players are and take that into account.

[d2bets]

Yeah, but that was when everyone was social distancing, wearing a mask, no crowds, etc. So it wasn't as easy to get infected. It's a different story now, plus Delta is even more contagious.

Yes, they will make it through, but unvaxxed players and their games will be impacted. Be aware. I think we're gonna know who's unvaxxed. I bet if we total up the unvaxxed players that at least a quarter of them will be impacted by covid at one time or another, especially those on teams with < 85% vaxxed.

[lakerboy]

That's beside the point. That was before a vaccine. They were willing to wait and screw up teams to get the games in. They made it clear that won't be the case this time.

Forfeit a game means 1 less paycheck for that game. A lot of guys are going to miss the million dollar check for a free vaccine. Stupid.

Exactly

What a ridiculously stupid policy and discriminate as well.

There are players w immune deficiencies that can't take it, players who have life insurance policies that may forbid it and oh, btw, what if one of those female refs didn't get vaxxed due to sterilization concerns...can the NFL treat her differently than a player or team in how it views that choice w respect to punitive issues?

Goodell gonna lose 1st lawsuit brought on this one.

Didn't Denver played with a WR last year as QB and lost by 45 points because they got COVID?

They need to be proactive. No one wants to watch a game where one team is playing without a QB.

[lakerboy]

Memo clearly states both sides of the issue.

I think that is the chalk, to happen first. Seen it all over baseball and also in golf

You are not going to have as many people getting it and it is not going to be spreading as much so it will not be as big a deal. There will definitely be some players test positive but it will not be something that is not fairly easily handled. Bring a guy in off the practice squad and move on.

Also if you have COVIDs, guys will get shots and they will be good in two weeks.

[MinnesotaFats]

Not a chance in hell.

Why not?

Same as saying "if you have black players who test positive you may have to forfeit"

Can't treat white and black differently

Or...let's try this one. "If you have gay players text positive you may have to forfeit"

See where this goes...

[Chi_archie]

they need to stop discriminating against players that do or don't take a shot of winstrol or anavar as well

or players that snort a little coke

[seaborneq]

SEC and NFL are putting the onus of teams being vaccinated or forfeit/loss/game checks missed on each individual teams. The SEC and NFL just don’t want a repeat of scheduling like both had to deal with last year. Losses/game checks missed gets everyone’s attention and keeps the SEC and NFL from having to make tough decisions every week.

[lakerboy]

You guys think he is a Trump voter?

[Booya711]

Loser libs like d2bets and goduke all think it’s just the repubs that aren’t getting the vax….poor broke minorities are the main groups not doing it….not Trump peeps

[hehfest]

If a guy like Hopkins temporarily quits, then many would follow. They won't have as good of a product. They want 85% of players vaxxed. They said 14 teams I think already reached that. Unreal! Hopkins has made so much money he's just playing for fun at this point. He can walk away and never work another day in his life and have it all until he passes. Many others in the same boat.

Its not even a vaccine anyway. It's a tech-injection to connect you to the 5g/6g cloud with Elon "cutout" Musk's NEUROLINK thousands of satellites (due to enter orbit in the next few weeks I believe) to read/write you on a daily basis. Have fun! I'm out. I'd rather eat grass.

[Kermit]

You guys think he is a Trump voter?

Of course he is. The loony Lefties have been telling me for months that Trump supporters aren't getting the vaccine, while they are saving the world.

Oh wait.

How will we ever manage? We haven't had a football season like that since. . . . . 2020!

They are basically strong arming athletes to get the shot. If you don't get it, you are going to get tested out the ass and if you pop positive, you are not playing. It just makes sense for teams to force their players to get the shot. Too much risk to not. Hell, the NFL may go like golf and not even test you if you've been vaccinated.

[marcoloco]

going to be hilarious when an already vaccinated player gets it

and they will still blame the unvaccinated for it happening, even when they bring it and are the cause

[hehfest]

Oh wait.

Cut the crap man. Trump warp-speeded the mark of the beast tech injections for the 5g/6g/10g/15g cloud NEUROLINK satellites that will read/write you. Trump ran away on his Air Force One while all those people got arrested. He could've pardoned them but he was just PART OF THE PLAN. He's a Masonic Kabbalist Canaanite Zohar Zionist Einsof Worshipping liar piece of shit.

Your right-wing tards (and I'm neither wing) still haven't figured out how Trump conned you and fukked you over yet? That guy should be hated by all of you for what a fraud he is.........

This is NOT the medical field/hospital where being vaccinated and working WITH Covid patients is just common sense and a liability issue. This is football. Neither the SEC nor NFL can stronghold players into getting the vaccine. Just not playing/paying them is enough. No one will get cut/fired for not being vaccinated. This really boils down to not having a repeat of scheduling issues like the ones that were encountered last year. Definitely don’t want another situation like Pittsburgh being moved everyday until they settled on a Wednesday night again waiting on Baltimore.
