2021 Covid Protocols in the NFL

[bobblehead]

Only in todays moron fest of a country is something medical considered political.

I agree 100%, but we likely are on opposite sides of which side we think is making it political.

[bobblehead]

Clearly you don't have A) children and B) children in school or you would state unequiovically with zero doubt that masks do in fact work because the observation is simply undeniable. Ask any parent of young kids what they observed about masks and you will essentially have one uniform response. It's that overwhelmingly apparent. I have heard the same thing from literally hundreds of parents. The exact same phrase. We all observed the same thing.

Now please kindly fuck off with this stupid drivel. No one cares about your politics.

This isn't a political thread. The rules are what they are. You can have your opinion about them - that is political - but take it to the proper venue (or don't, because literally no one cares). The players association and nfl owners negotiated and agreed to the rules together. They are what they are and they're not changing, and there's no problem at all with that.

See what I mean. Its a political topic. As I said, its not me saying masks don't stop a virus, its Fauci, the CDC, New England Journal of medicine. Every serious study ever done.

But I don't want to talk politics in this forum. Which I have had a 7 day timeout for. So starting a clearly blatantly political thread is the problem.

Universally you are seeing that kids are not getting common colds, etc. Literally the only sickness that went around last year was seemingly covid. My kids - and virtually every other parent that I've talked to (and I talk to a lot) - have never had fever sniffles or coughs. It was WONDERFUL!

Perhaps where you are that is true, but here in sunny Saskatchewan we had a few colds run through our schools. No non covid flus strangely enough... First time in recorded history. And we have lived in forced masks since start of school. I did notice less colds this year and chalk that up to more social isolation. Even for my son's hockey and girls dance no parents allowed which really sucked as it was great visiting time.

In fairness, employers and businesses are requiring it. It’s become a hot topic for people who want to be able to live a normal life and not take an experimental vaxx that’s causing a lot of deaths and injuries to be reported.

At the risk of getting a couple days off by Mad, that shouldn't be political either. Almost nothing should be, but we're too stupid to do anything else now.

Be careful about using VAERS. Many of the first to receive vaccines were also the most at risk due to health or age. As one person pointed out, vaccines don't make you immortal. Some people don't produce sufficient antibodies post-vaccine; this is why some people get the mumps.

Not getting a covid vax is like not getting a measles vax IMO. Not sure why you would want to be infected. If it requires boosters, so what? No different from a flu shot, and it's not like there aren't variants. There will be other viruses - Zika, SARS, swine flu, bird flu, etc. Ecological destruction and habitat loss pushes humans into more contact with this stuff; COVID19 won't be the last pandemic we see in the 21st century.

If you think the government is pushing all this to control or track you, maybe consider staying off the internet and ditching your phone, which is far far more effective for governments to use. China has zero-day hacks that it uses to snoop on its own people and can turn a phone into a hot mike to eavesdrop; you can be sure Russia and the US can do it too.

Finally, I honestly don't understand the hubbub over masks. Don't like it? Don't use a condom, wear a seat belt, stop at red lights, cover your cough/sneeze, or wash your hands. Go ahead and speed thru that school zone!
It's a stupid hill to die on.

My apologies fellow Packerrats. I did make it political with an offhand comment. The fact a public health issue is political is mind blowing.

That said, this is absolutely also a football issue. Going to be interesting how it plays out in camp.

Relativism has been replaced by social media absolutism. Everything is political. Except yummy strawberry ice cream. And everyone hates the vikings

There is no consensus on what should happen with public health. You start forcing people to do things they don’t want or believe in and people are gonna take issue with it. I don’t know if it’s politics, but it directly impacts people so everyone is going to have a view point on it.

Strawberry ice cream is a result of the political correctness police forcing a "healthy" alternative on good normal Americans. Why can't I just enjoy my chocolate ice cream? Or what about moose tracks? Never mind. The vegans would probably have a problem with that.

Ban the whiner snowflakes that couldn't just politely redirect to the football angle, and instead threw a hissy fit.

If Rastak gets a ban for that and the whiners get off free, I'll self ban in protest.

Now that I think about it, that may be incentive to ban Ras. I'm a real pain in the ass. Sorry, Ras.

He’s got a soft spot for minorities like me. Kind of my fault, should have left the moron thing out. Either way. I see Joe Mixon is pissed at the NFLPA, choices are personal and have consequences.

We’re good. I do find it interesting because it’s a microcosm of society in the NFL. Gonna get interesting.

it happened to me

i got banned, and the same two shitheads that highjacked my thread and have now tried to hijack this one, didn't have shit happen to them

[MadtownPacker]

Ahhh haaa yeah.....

Rastak I appreciate you admitted you took a shot because yes you did. Pretty much poured gas and I must say I’m surprised. I said people will be getting zapped for just breathing about this shit. This thread being proof why. Tex you are correct in that aspect but in no others point as usual so stop saying about banning or ruining people off because I don’t like it but more importantly it is not your place to decide.

Back to this shit. Why can’t the subject be discussed without putting dumb shit? Stick to how it affects the situation and not your political beliefs and maybe all can talk about it. It is reality and is part of the NFL at this point in history. But resorting to poking others beliefs like Rastak’s first post about the subject is FYI stuff so get on track please. I’m going leave this and see but the banning shit will start from here.

Bobble - Getting banned isn’t like serving time in jail man.
