NFL Player Says He Would Rather Retire Than Take COVID-19 Vaccine
The Epoch Times ^ | June 19, 2021 | SAMUEL ALLEGRI

Posted on 06/19/2021 1:37:30 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Buffalo Bills player Cole Beasley made clear his pro-freedom position to the NFL and NFLPA in regards to their new vaccine protocol, and said he would rather give up playing than get the COVID-19 shots.

“I will be outside doing what I do. I’ll be out in public. If you’re scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated,” the NFL player wrote on Twitter, “I may die of covid, but I’d rather die actually living.”

The 32-year-old wide receiver’s message comes as the league, which has been steadily losing viewership for the 9th consecutive year, has updated their vaccine protocols, which don’t say that vaccination is mandatory but order unvaccinated members to be tested daily for COVID-19, wear masks while in team facilities, and not talk to anyone outside of their traveling team while on the road.

“I have family members whose days are numbered. If they want to come see me and stay at my house then they are coming regardless of protocol. I don’t play for the money anymore. My family has been taken care of,” he declared publicly.

the liability will lie TOTATALLY with anyone that makes people take this stuff.

Workmans comp. will not cover what the injections are going to do to the employee and then the employee will come after anyone who recommended or forced them to take the jab. There may even be criminal liability at Nuremberg. There is going to be blood in the street before this experiment is over. The younger they impose the jab, the greater the liability.

I am obligated to speak out against vile evil acts. This attack by way of virus is one. The people pushing the shots are just as evil, and I’ll say it loudly. Nobody has the parts to stop me yet.

Let them “fire” you and then get a decent lawyer. They’ll settle.

You're kidding, right? Players are cut from teams for any reason the team wants and none of them have grounds to sue. Considering he's a 32 year old wide receiver I'd say he's on the last legs of his career to begin with. Buffalo could cut him and replace him in less than a day.

No, in my opinion, he’s just using his fame and well known name to try and influence...

I think that’s wrong...

So you don’t approve of his freedom to do what he wants if what he wants to do isn’t “shut up?”

Speaking of athletes, I'll just add this one because no mention was made of the young man's vaccination status in the article. And I'm suspicious...

No, he does have to freedom to do as he wants...

In fact, he does have the freedom of “free speech”, which actually negates most of what I’ve said here...

He DOES have the right to say what he’s said...I admit....

I just wish these so-called “stars” would stop using their fame/power to convince people to do as they wish...

I was off in my rant...I apologize...

“the league, which has been steadily losing viewership for the 9th consecutive year”

No, what that link says is Super Bowl viewership in the 18-49 demographic has been dropping for 9 years.

It’s a personal decision for each of us. Time will tell who made the right choice. I talked to three people the past week who have major health issues after getting the Covid jab, e.g., heart issues, daily migraines, and another woman who has been very sick since. Look up the “real” death toll from the shots; respect everyone’s personal choice.

Hush Pharm Flack, being fired for refusing Fauci’s experimental toxin is actionable. As a matter of fact, damn near anything is actionable, or don’t they tell you that on CNN?

BTW, I do not believe in “mandates” for this vaccine...

Like what I said before, it’s each person’s personal decision...

Cole Beasley seems like the kind of guy who has every penny he ever earned in the NFL invested in something that will make him fabulously rich for the rest of his life.

Yeah, you don't hear guys making rookie money who have yet to sign a free agency contract saying this stuff.

Evidently he didn’t spend it all on Escalades, bling and hose, which obviously makes him a racist.

Oh is it now?

You can try to sue over anything. Doesn't stop you from getting laughed out of court though.
