NFL “Vaccine” Drama: Coming To a City Near You

NFL “Vaccine” Drama: Coming To a City Near You

By J. Johnson

Dateline: Orchard Park, NY (Home of the Buffalo Bills) – For those of you who feel the NFL is ‘dead to you’, you may want to click elsewhere as the rest doesn’t apply to you. However, if you’re following the so-called ‘vaccine’ controversy, you might want to follow this story.

In a press conference Tuesday, Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott raised concern his team could fall behind in having COVID-19 protocol restrictions loosened for the start of training camp if enough players aren't vaccinated, per the NFL.com website. Allow me to translate this for you to American English: “Some of our key players – including a top-tier quarterback - doesn’t want the jab, even after all the brass and local media has ‘drank the kool-aid’, i.e., taken the ‘vaccine’”. This poses a problem.

It’s not just Josh Allen, the new hot ‘thing’ who had the Bills’ offense on virtual cruise-control in 2020. Despite losing the Chiefs, this team carried the AFC’s best offense. Keeping all their defensive pieces, this team’s 2021 mission is ‘Super Bowl or bust’. But hold that thought. It seems there are football players on that team that happen to also be ‘Americans’ who retain the ability to think past their own football careers and facebook news feeds, and having all the information that we have access to, doesn’t want to have their DNA permanently altered for an illness with a 99+% survival rate.

Here’s how the NFL put it: “…In addressing what's become a divisive issue among several high-profile Buffalo players and at least one of their spouses on Tuesday, McDermott focused his message on attempting to educate -- rather than convince, as he put it -- players to get vaccinated…”

Let’s use logic here: If this were a bunch of bench warmers, the team wouldn’t care. Clearly, this about starters – specialty positions, if you will. We know least one starting wide receiver have made their concerns public on social media. That spouse in question happens to be the significant other of a starting defensive safety. Bottom line: The Buffalo Bills are experiencing what is known these days as ‘vaccine hesitancy’ – led by their star quarterback, we suspect. What’s not being reported is that this phenomenon is a snapshot of what is going on across America – and probably with other NFL teams as well.

I’m sure the Buffalo Bills’ brass would love to bench/cut those who won’t take the jab as they did, but the NFL says you can’t do that. Nope – you can’t force a player to take the injection, or throw them under the bus if they don’t. And Lord knows, do you really want to force the issue with your money-maker QB (and the teammates following him)?

We’ve said in earlier posts that we believe most of America has NOT taken this jab, and that has become a burning issue with the elite. If the numbers of shot-takers was as they say, there’d be no need for the insane ad campaign to make all of us part of the “non-placebo group”.

Remember: All the NFL players have access to the same information that we do. The good, the bad, the ugly, the VAERS data. Love or hate the NFL, those players maybe the ones that bring the reality of the after-effects of this DNA manipulator drug to the forefront, and the minor issue in the Buffalo NY suburbs my soon blow up into a major national story as mini-camps begin across the country.

Stay tuned…

The NFL is way beyond dead to me. In fact it doesn’t exist to me anymore.

My understanding is that the best way to get the mods attention is to file an abuse report on yourself.

They have said in the past that they don’t read every thread but do read all the abuse reports.

Additionally, if you want to ping a mod, then you need to put their name in the *To* field. Commenting to yourself will not catch their attention.

FR does some quirky things with posts sometime but I am not computer savvy enough to know why.

They can always fly United. The domestic vaccine requirement is coming.

I don’t give a damn about the NFL but I will enjoy seeing this fiasco play out.

Question for the dopes who run the NFL: Didn’t you just play a whole season BEFORE any vaccines were even available? If it was safe to do that, then who cares if any players are vaccinated today?

Yes. The main legal reason for requiring the vaxx is to show danger to the workplace or public. If a business had been open for a year or remote, and nearly all incidents were due to home-based spread, how can they prove this danger legally? They’re going to need massive judicial and bureaucratic (tyrannical) help.

Local coverage...

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen says team conversations on COVID-19 vaccine will stay in-house

But vaccine passports will be shoved down the throats of their fans in NYS.

WTG, guys.

NYS is so lying through its teeth on vaccine uptake rates.

In the NFL it’s simpler than bureaucratic or judicial help. These players all have contracts that are legally binding ... and if the contract doesn’t say the player must get a COVID vaccine, then the team can’t force the player to get it.

We are also seeing an inevitable consequence of living in an oppressive society run by lawyers. In a world of silly COVID hysteria, an employer-employee relationship is now subject to so many conflicting laws and regulations that nobody has a clue what to do in a situation like this.

...that nobody has a clue what to do in a situation like this.

It's not cluelessness.

It's gutlessness.

On whose part — the employer or the employee?

In this case, employer.

There’s nothing “gutless” about the employer in this case. The team has contractual obligations to its players and a franchise agreement with the NFL. It has to operate within these parameters while at the same time it has to deal with a bunch of stupid laws and regulations that often contradict each other.

I haven’t seen any update from the county executive after running his mouth about vaccine passports. Even the governor wasn’t too keen on that idea and some prime box holders have already told the stadium that “vaccine” for entry is a deal breaker. The stadium may lose lots of money pulling that stunt.

The NFL players have contracts to protect them and agents to serve in their best interests.

Citizens in New York have a Nursing Home Killer for a governor who is pushing an experimental treatment on victims, in violation of the Treaty of Nuremberg 1947

Here are the Buffalo Bills with a governor saying fans cannot attend a game unless they show proof of taking part in an experimental treatment yet the same team played for a season already and players on the team don't have to show proof.

Correction: To the best of my knowledge, the Gov has not signed on to vax pass for football. They KNOW there’s going to be blow back over that. And now, with the team itself pushing back on all this... things are definitely going to get interesting.

I would hate to own a customer-facing business where I’d have to be constantly worrying about how a bunch of stunted losers among my customers will react to my business practices at a time like this.

Imagine owning a business where half your customers refuse to patronize your business if you require vaccines, and the other half stay away if you DON’T require vaccines.

I’m talking about going along with shoving vaccinations down fans’ throats while players get to hide behind their contracts.

About sucking up to a domestic terrorist organization, BLM.

And kowtowing to the ChiComs.

Rampant gutlessness.
