The NFL has notified clubs that if there’s a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, teams who can’t reschedule during the 18-week season will forfeit the match, be credited with a loss, and potentially incur financial liability and discipline from the commissioner.

According to the NFL Network‘s Tom Pelissero, the league intends to play its entire 272-game schedule over 18 weeks, and ‘does not anticipate adding a ’19th week’ to accommodate games that cannot be rescheduled within the current 18 weeks of the regular season.”

Somebody has come up with a diabolical strategy to wreck the NFL.

Oops! The NFL has come up with a diabolical strategy to wreck the NFL.

Rober Conquest's Third Law of Politics:

"The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies."

I think they should strap the unvaxed to the 50 yard line and horsewhip them on live television until they comply. I bet their ratings would go up.

What would Pete Rozelle do?

What about teams who have to cancel because their vacc’d players got “breakthrough” cases?

Yknow - like the superspreader Democrats in DC?

if there's a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, teams who can't reschedule during the 18-week season will forfeit the match, be credited with a loss, and potentially incur financial liability and discipline from the commissioner.

What will these clowns do WHEN NFL players with full covid vaccinations get infected with covid, something that's been happening with increasing frequency?

What will they do when black Muslim players start yelling that they were instructed by Minister Farrakhan to avoid the vax?

What do the players' contracts say about pay if a game is cancelled? I bet a lot of the new ones since the china virus have that figured out (the players probably don't get paid).

But for players with older contracts it probably means paid vacation.

Not fair. Teens don’t know how to get on the internet to find out how to get shots

[Seruzawa]

This is difficult. Much as I detest the NFL these vaxitlers are worse.

[Chode]

both teams don't get paid, sounds an awful lot like collective punishment...

[Allegra]

And what if there’s an outbreak among vaxxed players? It’s happening.

Look at the Fleeing Texas Dems.

[spudville]

What is the penalty if vaccinated players have an outbreak? This ought to put the NFL out of business for good. As if record low attendance wasn’t going to finish them off anyway.

[dwg2]

The NFL is DEAD! They killed it themselves. No body is interested and no one cares. The recent Gay crap was the fork being stuck in it. It’s done.

[nascarnation]

You’re right! Only 96 million of 330m Americans watched the SB.

What if there’s a Covid outbreak among vaccinated players?

[Tallguy]

What happens if there’s an outbreak among vaccinated players? Does the game get re-scheduled. Do they decide the winner by a field goal kicking contest? Rock-paper-scissors?

The NFL is such a pansy-league anymore. What happened to the Jim Brown, Chuck Bednarik NFL?

That’s more physical contact than the rules of the game allow. So, yeah, you’re right. Maybe we could stage an MMA fight at half-time?

[LeoTDB69]

And if vaxxed players are in these outbreaks, teams with vaxxed players should forfeit also.

[SaxxonWoods]

Is this because the NFL is gay or in spite of the NFL being gay?
