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.

Still more...

Allen: I'll keep my COVID decision to myself "I'm not looking to be a poster child for anything," says Bills QB

McDermott concerned about players getting vaccinated, Allen keeps decision in-house Bills coach says he must respect players' choices on whether to vaccinate

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.
