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

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.

Maybe he’ll run for Congress upstate.

Sad it’s come to this.

Albeit I’d be okay with being tested everyday and isolating myself from everyone provided it were just a spit test? This apparently is the rule for those who haven’t been jabbed?

Cole Beasley said that when he was with the Dallas Cowboys, all the players were more interested in their "brand value", instead of winning football games.

Now I know someone on FR said that Jerral Jones caring more about making money than winning championships is a-okay, all right. I think you can do both- Robert Kraft made a mint at the same time he was winning championships with the New England Patriots.

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.

What this guy said is exactly what I think and feel. I would rather breathe free air and go about my life, than cower in fear behind a mask and take a dubious experimental vaccine. I am just grateful to our ancestors of the 13th century, that they did not shut down their civilization when so many people died of the plague. If they had behaved as we are behaving, we would not be enjoying all the wonders of modern life.

I hope all of these groups realize the simple facts:

With the Government having washed their hands of this (experimental, unapproved, vaccine), it any bad effects are found to be inherent in this stuff.....

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

If I still had the three companies I used to own, no way am I making people get vaccinated. Might offer them time off with pay to get it done, but mandatory - never.

Yup. That’s what freedom is about.
The NFL can go take a jump straight into hell.

I’m selective in which Cowboys played I’ve like. Cole was one of them. All heart on the field. No showmanship or ego. Good for him. I won’t take the shot either.

I’m surprised that Noosecar is not requiring drivers to wear masks during races.

The left has destroyed Noosecar, the NFL, MLB, and NBA.

They now have turned their attention to the NCAA.

The vax pushers can't have high profile objection. Those waging biowarfare against us will likely try to make something 'happen' to him.

“I may die of covid, but I’d rather die actually living.”

That's a GREAT line - and that's the way he plays, too

Unlike you, he didn't spend all his money on Escalades, bling and hose, so he might own a few Arby's but he won't be one of your co-workers.

I think taking or not taking the vaccine shot is a personal decision and people should just allow everyone the FREEDOM to make their own choice instead of talking about what THEY think people should do...

Just do what YOU want and keep your mouth shut...

The other side wants to force to take the vaccine, but you want our side to shut up?

I’m not ok with any of it. It’s an act of war, and here we are, still pretending that what we do matters here.

Hey Cole, don’t retire. Let them “fire” you and then get a decent lawyer. They’ll settle.
