Report: Cole Popovich No Longer Part Of Patriots Coaching Staff, Decision Related To COVID-19 Vaccine
CBS Local ^ | July 23, 2021

Posted on 07/23/2021 2:54:23 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The New England offensive line figures to be a pretty talented group in 2021. But that unit will have some changes in regards to who is coaching them.

Cole Popovich, who served as New England’s co-offensive line coach last year with Carmen Bricillo, is not returning to the Patriots staff in 2021, as first reported by The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride. Bricillo will now serve as the team’s lone offensive line coach.

ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported that the decision to move on from Popovich is “related to the COVID-19 vaccine and NFL guidelines.”

The NFL sent out a memo to all teams on Thursday announcing that games cancelled due to outbreaks caused by unvaccinated players and staff members would result in a forfeit for the team responsible for the outbreak. Players on both teams also would not be paid for that game.

On Friday, the Minnesota Vikings reportedly parted ways with offensive line coach and run game coordinator Rick Dennison after he refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Popovich, 36, had been with the Patriots since 2015, when he started as a coaching assistant. He worked his way up to assistant running backs coach in 2019, before being promoted to co-offensive line coach in 2020.

New England was the only team that he’s ever worked for in the NFL. Popovich spent time in the college ranks at Los Angeles Valley College, Fresno City College, Utah State University, and Minot State University.

Well, one might wish Coach Dennison success in the college ranks, but gee...

At age 36, he might give the plumbing business a go. Pays even better than coaching in some cases.

Smart move. Does anyone think the NFL, which hid evidence of long term affects of concussions would pay the bills of someone who had an adverse reaction to these experimental treatments?

The National Football League is mandating something that doesn't exist. None of these are "vaccines"; they're all experimental treatments.

Forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/).

"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"

"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."

"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."

"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."

"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."

"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."

"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."

Institutions that attempt to force experimental treatments need to be exposed, charged, and dissolved if necessary. Their behavior is no different than korporations who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany at the behest of the government.

There was no social distancing, mandating of condoms, ban on dating or socializing, or preventing people from shooting up drugs throughout AIDS.

COVID-19 is the biggest false flag in recorded human history.

Works for this guy, too...

https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/23/federal-law-prohibits-employers-and-others-from-requiring-vaccination-with-a-covid-19-vaccine-distributed-under-an-eua/

So why didn’t the guy fight?

Or was he paid to go quietly...

BTW, were both of these coaches white?

Because, if so, this might be more about skin color than CoupFlu...

The fascist regime currently operating says that either people get injected with the poisons labeled COVID vaccines or they will be fired from their jobs.

Wonder if any black refuseniks will be fired...

If not, will sports leagues be using CoupFlu to rid themselves of white personnel...?

Another man who stands for something.

God Bless Him!

I may have to make the same decision by the end of this year or sooner.

The NFL already knows their viewership and advertising ratings will continue to tank and needed to come up with an excuse for poor performances all season long.

“ I may have to make the same decision by the end of this year or sooner.”

____________

I may also, come September. They seem to be gearing up for it at my company. A few all-hands comments lead me to believe they’ll move on that. Time will tell, I guess.

My understanding is the NFL mandated all team staff (but not players) must get vaccinated. So a few quit. Maybe because they don’t want the vaccine or maybe because they don’t like not having the choice.

>>>Wonder if any black refuseniks will be fired...<<<

If a black man refuses the vaccine, it is because he “must” be a conservative. If a man of color is a conservative, he is no longer black in the eyes of other blacks of the BLM variety. Therefore, (note the syllogism) he is not black and can lose his job.

Let’s see...

Are the players mostly black and the staff mostly white...?

Let’s see who leaves, the number of sites vs blacks.

Pity none so far have had the guts to make a stink.

Someone should ask if they’ve taken money to go quietly.

And a non-responsive answer to that question is just as telling.
