Coronavirus (sports edition) thread

I thought I read somewhere that all the Tier 1 and 2 staff had been vaccinated already, which would be coaches and medical staff.

The NFL has said they are not going to cancel or postpone any games this year, so yeah they are taking as many precautions as possible. Can't blame them for protecting the bottom line at any cost.

"More pressure on players to get vaccinated. Washington ranked among the top teams last season with only a few players testing positive for covid, but it’s been among the lowest in player vaccination rate. Two weeks ago they were at 36%, per source."

WOW, didn't think it would be that low, Ron not getting through to them. Hope the prospect of forfeiting games and game cheques will speed some up otherwise we are in deep crap. Could cost us 2-4 games, they dont have that much of a margin

That Covid shot was a real ass kicker. I was down for 5 days. Never felt so bad in my life. I can see why guys don't want to get it.

I just don't see how any team can compete for a championship if they don't have everyone vaccinated.

Wow, agreeing with Ezekiel Elliot. I need to re-think my whole life:

"I got the vaccine just because I wanted to put myself in the best situation to be out there for my team week in and week out. But I mean, not everyone feels that strongly or maybe other people still have their view of vaccines. You can't force someone to do something that they don't want to do to their body," said Elliott, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 last summer.

New England Patriots linebacker Matt Judon expressed his frustration with the NFL's new policy with a tweet that said: "The NFLPA F---ing sucks."

This dude is extreme!

Looks like teams who cant play because of covid could end up forfeiting those games. No rescheduling like last year.

Big news

Did anyone see Deandre Hopkins full social media statement? Didn’t know he was maga

[EdmundDorf]

From my perspective it can only be a matter of "my body my choice" when no one else is affected.

The rest of this post has been deleted as it is too philosophical/political and does not belong on a football thread. Apologies

Here's to body shaming. A lot of us already knew, my body, my choice, was a regular John Denver.

It's really your choice only after the democratic party announces it's your choice.

Would love this attitude in the 50's, maybe we could still be battling polio today!

The league said games would be forfeited IF they cant reschedule .. but they also said there will not be as accommodating as last year, no 18th week and probably not tues and Wed games.

its out of our control and hands .. im just going to wait to see what happens .. as the world turns, so are these the days of our lives.

Two OL coaches, Pats & Vikings, fired for refusing to get the vaccine......
