British sports minister Nigel Huddleston has urged footballers who do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine to "overcome their reluctance" because it is their social responsibility.
With games being postponed due to COVID outbreaks at several clubs, the English Football League (EFL), which governs the lower divisions of the sport, said on Thursday that a quarter of players from its 72 clubs do not intend to get vaccinated.
"I recognise that some people can't get vaccinated, but we all need to encourage those who aren't vaccinated to overcome their reluctance," Huddleston was quoted as saying by the BBC.

Because four soccer players dying of heart attack is not enough.
Every day I hear or read something that reassures me that deciding to not get one of these shots was absolutely the correct decision.
I remember when the main quality of a true man was independent thought.
Society changes, truths do not.
Using Social Engineering to trick people just like hackers
How long before a few of the rugby guys show up at Nigel’s house and adjust his attitude? Maybe burn a casket on his lawn? If stupid was a river Nigel would be up to his buttz in it——
“Because four soccer players dying of heart attack is not enough”.
This vile tool is telling those players to risk it and play Russian Roulette with their health and lives.
Sports Minister?
I see what’s wrong right there…
(He’s also in charge of tourism and ‘heritage’)
👍 That goes for me, too.
After several dropped dead this week?
Good luck with that.
I’ll bet most of them are not interested in playing Russian Roulette.
Someone please take this twit by the ears and ask him who f*** he thinks he is.
Because it is their social responsibility to risk their careers and lives for 'the greater good'.
When they start with that social responsibility/ greater good crap, it’s just like calling people racists and white supremacist over nothing.
My response is to say go ahead and make my day, call me a racist, call me selfish..... I don’t give a crap about your 90 year old grandma, or your obese sister, I care about my teenage kid living a normal life.
Go protect your grandma by getting 4 boosters before you visit her. And make sure she has 4 boosters too. But don’t expect me to care about either one of you and your shared stupidity.
How come these Euros go down and not the NFL/NBA guys? Are they getting Sinovax?
Why is putting their lives at imminent risk their social responsibility? The Vax does not prevent contracting or transmitting Covid, so why risk your life?
The elites want the footballers to get jabbed so they (the elite) don't look like the craven political tools that they are.
Just say no.
Wanting to avoid Mengele medical experimentation is “selfish”.
Hmmm—I bet the prisoners in the camps were told the same thing....
I'm sure you liked Biden's "Its the patriotic thing to do".
Could be that the level of heart-rate elevation is higher and more constant in the soccer players? Esp. the forwards. They don’t have much chance to rest for 45 minutes + extra time. Up and down the field constantly, no commercial breaks, rare/short stoppages — for an injury might be a few minutes, but resetting the ball or getting a player over for a sideline throw or corner is minimal time-out.
