Teams with a higher percentage of unvaccinated players have a higher chance of forfeiting games. Nobody's going to argue with that unless they just don't understand anything about viruses or vaccines. Bully for us. Best team we've had in years, it would be truly Redskinesque to finish 9-8 with two forfeits.

Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread
Hard to conclude anything other than we have too many not so smart guys on the team.

WFT (as of Friday) was right there with the national average of around 70%, and likely surpassed it on Sunday when guys like AGG decided to get the vaccine after being provided with more information about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/31/s...ning-camp.html |

If everyone in your neighborhood would lose 1/17th of their income if there was an outbreak in your neighborhood, you'd be more likely to get vaccinated too. That's why I can't understand why we're not at 90-95 percent. Hopefully getting there soon.

The NFL put big time pressure on these guys to get the vaccine. Whether you like that tactic or not, it does seem to be working. Players are either doing a 180 after being provided more information, caving to the pressure, or simply making a new "business decision". But not everyone who doesn't want to get the vaccine, whatever their reason, is going to fold under the applied pressure; and I think the majority of players understand and respect that. It's mostly fans ("But I've been a die hard fan for years, what if they have to forfeit games") that don't respect the players' individual decisions. |

We all have opinions about a lot of things all the time. I don't get why having an opinion about the best option on this particular matter is suddenly such a massive issue... Like, if an environmentalist says "I wish more people would use public transportation rather than individual cars" (not "any body who owns a car should be sent to jail/fired from their jobs"), is it a breach in individual freedom ?

If you've read anything I've posted on here, I'm probably the last one who is going to be against someone for voicing an opinion, even if I disagree. Now, I don't particularly like it when individuals feel they have to berate or shame someone who has a different opinion, but we weren't all raised the same - so while I don't care for it, I'm understanding. |

And you know you can see it coming from a mile away but you still can't get out of the middle of the road.

But as a fan of this team I wish we're not going to lose game because of a bloody shot billions of people got.
