Additionally, both the Washington Football Team-Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams games, which were originally scheduled for Sunday, will now be taking place on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Wonderful vaccine and fake boosters you’ve got there. 😒

There are reports of a split in the NFL between the players and the union leadership. Apparently, a majority of the players want to do away with testing and just play the games, and the leadership is against that. For those who care, that's an interesting thing to watch over the next few weeks.

Even if you're not following the NFL that is a microcosm of the larger issue in society of people simply getting sick of being told they can't live their normal lives because of covid.

More vaccinations == surge in COVID cases.

I don’t know why more people don’t see it.

More proof the jabs do not work. Normally when a “vaccine” rolls out the sickness goes down and not up.

In case any Freeper is wondering what are the symptoms of omicron? It’s minor symptoms of being tired, achy and scratch throat. Who in life has never experienced that?

That is what the media, the CDC, the NIH, the Administration and now the NFL is running around panicking like it’s the end of the world.

“The league announced that a matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns that was set for Saturday would be postponed until Monday at 5 p.m. ET.”

Two days to flatten the curve?

“We continue to make decisions in consultation with medical experts”
You mean, the same “experts” who told you to get vaccinated so you could avoid situations like this? The blind leading the blind...

No big deal, I was only faintly aware they were even having games due to the time of year.

Watching all this is quite fun. The pushback to the stupidity will be an epic smackdown. Can't wait for Times Square ball drop to be cancelled.

What a joke!

A notable dynamic: Sources say the NFLPA has received feedback that a majority of players want to eliminate COVID protocols altogether. No more testing, quarantining, etc. That sentiment isn’t shared by union leadership, which has continued to advocate for daily testing.

Eagles got screwed, we have to play 3 games in 13 days, because Washington had an outbreak. The rules are ridiculous.

It’s quite obvious that every time things get back to even a semblance of normal, the doomsters ratchet up THE FEAR.

It’s actually 99.98% on average, but I get your point. Besides you are close enough anyhow.
