The NFL has enforced very strict protocols for unvaccinated players this offseason. On Thursday, one player found out the hard way just how stringent those rules are.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie tweeted a photo of a letter he received from the NFL informing him that he would be fined for his failure to wear a mask “for several minutes.”
The letter reads like a police report and includes specific times and locations where the alleged infractions occurred.
“On August 25, 2021, at approximately 2:15 p.m. while walking through the indoor fieldhouse and into the training room, you failed to wear a mask,” the letter begins.
“Then at approximately 4:35 p.m. on August 25, for several minutes, you again failed to wear a mask in the meeting area of the weight room while gathered near other players after the offensive meeting.”
The NFL said it had clearly set forth its mask requirements for unvaccinated players and accused McKenzie of ignoring them.
“Your refusal to wear a mask occurred after you were informed that it was required for unvaccinated players as set forth in your 2021 club discipline schedule and as reiterated by signage throughout the club facility stating that unvaccinated players may be subject to fines/discipline for failing to wear a mask.”
In his tweet, McKenzie accompanied the photo of the letter with a sarcastic admission of guilt. “They got me!” he said. “[NFL] you win!”

The players should walk out. And find the spy.
Of course they will. Owning a football team is about prestige not making money. They've made their money elsewhere and will make tons more when they sell their ownership. We'll know it's really over when NFL teams start getting sold left and right.
But the players won’t.
The smart players will save and invest and live well. The stupid ones will become homeless drug addicts.
There are still people who watch football?
Will they be wearing masks while playing?????????
