NFL & Covid 2021

[revo]

NFL announced today that if a team needs to cancel a game because of a covid outbreak, and they cannot reschedule it, the team with the outbreak will be forced to forfeit. Wowza.

In addition:
- players on both teams will not be paid for the lost contest
- 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.

WOW! Wonder how the NFL Players Union will respond....

As far as I understand, the NFLPA is all for it. DeMaurice Smith has said there's no excuses at this point, players have all the information about vaccines needed.

The Patriots fired co-OL coach Cole Popovich because he wouldn't get the covid vaccine.

The Vikings apparently have also fired OL coach Rick Dennison for similar reasons.

LOL, buhbye careers.

Hadn't heard about Popovich, but Dennison is "definitely" instead of "apparently".

ESPN's Jenna Laine reported that the NFL will fine unvaccinated players $14,650 every time they're caught breaking health and safety protocols.

Imagine throwing your career away because you feel so strongly about refusing to be vaccinated against a disease that's killed millions.

Anti-vaxxer Rick Dennison is staying after all:

The Vikings and assistant coach Rick Dennison aren’t breaking up after all.

The offensive line coach/run game coordinator will remain as an assistant coach in Minnesota, according to multiple reports, including Pro Football Talk — four days after a separate report by ESPN claimed Dennison was out in Minnesota after refusing to receive a vaccine for COVID-19.

Both parties reportedly reached an agreement in which Dennison and the team will comply with league protocols regarding COVID-19 and safety amid the pandemic — whether the 63-year-old is vaccinated or not.

Zoom coaching.

Washington head coach Ron Rivera is expressing his dismay about the shitty vaccination rates on his team. Rivera, a cancer survivor, is immuno compromised so the anti-vaxxers on his own team are literally putting his life in peril. Ugh.

Zoom coaching.

Maybe he can be a life-sized video robot like on that Toyota commercial.

Anti-vaxxer Kirk Cousins said he's willing to sit in a plexiglass bubble while at team functions but will not get the shot. I think Dak Prescott also gave the ol' "that's a private matter" answer to whether he was vaccinated, which is dumbass code for no.
