The Pittsburgh Steelers announced that they will monitor the team’s vaccination status using yellow bracelets to mark players who have yet to receive their COVID shot.
Players are instructed to wear the bracelets during training camps and for the foreseeable future. Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the team’s progress with vaccines and how Pittsburgh can benefit from the new bracelets.
“We really kind of moved on, to be honest with you,” said Tomlin. “That’s why we wanted to be so proactive about addressing it, so we’re not spending a whole bunch of time thinking or talking about it. So, it’s a non-issue for us, thankfully, due to the efforts and willingness of our guys. We’re focused on football.”
According to the AP, 85% of the Steelers roster has been vaccinated, with the new system in place to encourage the remaining players to get vaccinated.
The Steelers aren’t the only NFL team implementing the new ruling. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they will be using a similar system leading up to the start of the new season, marking unvaccinated players with red bracelets.
Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette jokingly admitted on Twitter that he remains hesitant about the mandatory vaccination ruling, but he then deleted the incriminating tweet.
Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league announced that unvaccinated players league-wide will be fined $14,650 for any COVID guideline infractions.

Time for the players to lawyer up.
Will they have to ring a bell and yell, “Unclean! Unclean!” ?
It’s so they know who to shame, blame, and fine for outbreaks. The NFL has made it very clear that if any game is suspended and cancelled, the entire team will forfeit that game’s salary.
Yellow bracelets the new Star of David ?
Damn! Think about the running backs with the red bracelet. The defense must stay 6 feet away! What a great idea. Actually these people are morons.
Guess they couldn’t find any Yellow Stars of David to sew on their sleeves.
The new leper colony.
Seriously? YELLOW?
> Violates HIPAA <
Every state in the union requires students to be vaccinated for diphtheria. So you’ve supposed to show proof when you enroll. Is that a HIPAA violation? I dunno.
The left owe Margerie Taylor Green an apology. She nailed it when she compared the covid nonsense to nazi Germany forcing jews to identify as jews so that everyone could persecute them
“requires students to be vaccinated for diphtheria”
That is an approved vaccine.
Lawyer up??? Where is the NFLPA on this??? NFLPA president demaurice smith- long known as an obama buttboy- is hated by the players and this may be the final straw.
bracelets please...
They aren’t forced to wear bracelets and other such garbage so yes it is a HIPPA violation.
Sorry but my GAS (give-a-s**t) factor for the Notorious Felon’s League is exactly zero. Shove it, cretins.
Yellow bracelets replace yellow stars.
Next, cattle cars.
Every state has vaccine exemptions for religion, health, etc. it appears they are trying to get rid of these. The Amish and many other Christian groups will not comply
According to the AP, 85% of the Steelers roster has been vaccinated...

85% vaccinated and no herd immunity? Oh, that’s right, this “vaccine” doesn’t stop the transmission of the virus.
Chains.

But we know the important fact missing is how many of them have Natural Immunity, which is better than the ‘jab’?
