NFL warns teams could forfeit games, lose money if Covid outbreaks occur among unvaccinated players.

There is Zero proof thus far that it came from a lab .....Not saying its impossible,  but it's another conspiracy  or flat out assumption at this point...

why cut Beasley.  If he can't play a game, doesn't mean the team has to forfeit.

when he's cut some other team is picking him up.  that's the way it goes.

He already promised to stop tweeting , but keeps on going ..

GM Beane has already mentioned not signing players who are distractions several times over the last 2 seasons ....

Dont forget Beasley is coming off a broken leg as well ...

Big Big lawsuits coming if Players get cut for not taking the Vaccine...Zero chance that happens...NFLPA will not allow it..You may see a strike by the players...

Agree..All it will take is TB12 or another big star to threaten sitting out and the owners will likely fold like lawn chair .

Then again many of the younger players need that money ...

Going to be interesting over the next few months 

Clapton holds all the cards ( an individual performing concerts ) .

Cole Beasley is on a team and if he's cut tomorrow the show goes on in Buffalo  ...Now he's taken to Twitter to argue with his teammates ...( days are numbered here ) 

Amti vaxxers are Patriots ..???

C'mon man 

@DoubleUp4Life

 Ok.  Didnt know he was tweeting.  Someone get to the kid fast

No logic in this. Why bother taking my meds I'm going to die anyways, I'm taking a chance either way, maybe my meds cause another issue and that kills me.

Shows how much these conspiricy theorist have gotten to people and how people have bought into this stuff.

Sure you can. If I owned a bussiness and sent a employee to someone house and let's say the state is 100% open I can still reguire my employee to wear a mask while in the house of a customer , if the employee chooses not to then he does not work that day or get payed, his choice.

I could also reguire employees to get tested if they were constantly going into multiple houses on a daily basis  as long as company pays.

If I don't have work he is willing to do then he needs to stay home and not get payed.

I can have that policy if I think it benefits everyone involved and makes my company look professional, that is my company not the employees company, I'll decide that not an employee. If he wants to make that decision then he can start his own company. But you know what, if he did he'd understand the importance of things like this and do the same thing but it sure is easy to say anything when you are not responsible for anything happens to the company.

 just today:

Dr. Fauci: "People are sort of raising their eyebrows a bit,” by the apparent steep falloff in the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness that the Israeli data seems to suggest.

I assume you will begin taking your biannual booster shots in a few months, yes?
You're not anti-vax are you?

Why wouldn't people take a booster if it was neccessary  ?? 

So far I've lost an uncle , a friend and 2 former coworkers to Covid.....Also have a relative who needs a kidney transplant after beating Covid..

@DoubleUp4Life

I'm fine with people choosing to take recommended biannual booster shots for life.
It has no effect on me.
It was simply a question.

Seems like US wont get well for awhile, covid becoming too politicized...

Now teammates are squabbling. this is gonna be like 2016 again, maybe even worse. Not only have to deal with the racial/patriotic issue, now add the covid issue on top of it. We have a dilemma folks. Will be alot of choppy waters for us NFL bettors to navigate this year. 2016 was one of the least profitable seasons for me and I hope this isn't the case for 2021... 

@Digitalkarma

The NFL Overlords are politicizing the NFL...end of story. They have brought this all on themselves and they continue to destroy that which they themselves are the supposed guardians.

Football fans don't want to be lectured on Sunday, Monday, or Thursday on what to feel and what to think about social issues from the booth or through propagandized commercials. They simply want to watch a so called sporting event. 

Who are NFL players or owners to pretend that they are preaching from any high moral ground? Many folks go to church on Sunday and expect to be given spiritual guidance from the pulpit not from some overpaid, self centered moral dwarfs who play a crooked sport for a living 

Your NFL doom and gloom narrative  is delusional as always .

Their new TV + streaming  deal is $113 billion over 11 years. That's an 80% increase...

The NFL doesnt care if us older folk are offended by any of their actions ..They've already hooked the next generation with high visibility through streaming and the Madden video game .. 

During the pandemic Madden dynasty leagues grew by 2900%+ ..  Its estimated that More than half of them are private leagues with users under 18.. I was constantly fielding questions from both of my kids like " should I trade Issiah Simmons , he's up to a 92 overall and is going to want 11M plus per year on his new deal , running out of cap space after resigning my LT and WR2 ".

No you cannot. Employers cannot require an employee to get the COVID shot. It’s medical privacy.  Name me 1 company that is requiring a COVID vaccine to be employed or you get fired?  That company will be sued. I believe some hospitals or universities tried to implement this but then backed off..

WOODLAND PARK, N.J. — Six supervisory employees of RWJBarnabas Health, one of the largest health care systems in New Jersey lost their jobs because they did not get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Now the hospital system says it will expand its vaccine mandate from supervisory-level employees to "all staff and physicians." It employs more than 35,000 people, with 9,000 affiliated doctors. Plans are to be announced in the coming days.

Two weeks after that deadline, 99.7% of eligible employees — 2,979 — were fully vaccinated or had obtained the necessary exemption, the health system said in a statement.

@davemsh

The NFL made receiving the COVID-19 vaccine required for Tier 1 personnel which includes executives, coaches and scouts. Simply put, you get the vaccine or you are out of a job. On Friday, it was reported that two NFL coaches refused to receive the vaccination and are now out of work.

One of the coaches out of a job, Rick Dennison, is a former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator.

@DoubleUp4Life

Per Federal Law....Includes exemptions for individuals with health conditions OR Religious Beliefs that would preclude getting vaccinated

In Montana, the recently passed a state law that makes vaccination status a protected characteristic like race or gender.  Under Montana law, Employers can't refuse employment to a person based on vaccinated status..  Its a slippery slope...So expect more states to follow.

We are still in the early stages of employers mandating employees to get vaccinated...Wait to you see a mass exit from a company or a massive strike that cripples a hospital or health care company...

Now will employers want to challenge the supreme court on Religion..I highly doubt it..

When health care or hospital workers/doctors who are on the frontline and see Covid patients everyday refuse to get the vaccine..What does that tell you?

@davemsh

 It is against my religious beliefs to receive vaccinations. 

Yes, And it is your choice...I respect that..As should the local/state and Federal level to get vaccinated.

@davemsh

 Good luck with that ..Like it said above 99.7% of the staff complied in New Jersey ..

Suing sounds enticing until you realize that the paychecks are not rolling in ...The fat cats have the coin to tie up these cases in litigation for years ...

Here in New York there is no religious exemption for vaccinations ...Anti Vax parents constantly biotch and moan here as they must home school their kids as they wait for them to die from preventable diseases and conditions..

I can't wait for hospitals to start firing workers who are unvaccinated who put their lives on the line every day but choose not to get vaccinated...This will be great entertainment
