    2021 Covid Protocols in the NFL

    These anti Vaxxer players are gonna be real bummed out. This isn't a political thread, it's a public health issue and a major issue for the NFL. The NFLPA and the NFL jointly agreed to the following:

    Curious if this will cause division in many locker rooms.

    Vaccinated players exposed to covid have no problem. Guys who for some fucking strange reason decide not to are out for 5 days. There are also a ton of other restrictions on these, umm, guys making personal decisions. I was surprised guys not vaccinated get tested EVERY FUCKING DAY. This is with the blessing of the NFLPA. Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision. Maybe there is some religion that doesn't allow mumps, chicken pox, polio and covid but seems like this could cause some issues.

    Let's just hope the Packers and Vikings players see the ramifications and opt for the vaccine. Would be interesting if anybody has a team percentage of players who've vaccinated or even better yet the list of players. Guessing the latter though goes against HIPPA rules and thus likely not for public consumption.
    60% of the time it works every time.

      So if you have 15 vaccinated guys in the weight room and and an unvaccinated guy shows up, either the unvaccinated guy is barred from entering or one of the vaccinated guys have to leave. Teams will have to figure out ways to deal with that. If I were a guy not assured of making the team, I'd get vaccinated.

        Yea, I only brought it up because it could have a pretty big effect on teams so I agree with you. Joe Mixon already commented.

        "Bengals running back Joe Mixon has complained about the restrictions that will apply to unvaccinated players during the 2021 season.

        “The NFLPA is not for the players they act like they represent us and they clearly show us different time & time again,” Mixon tweeted on Wednesday. Mixon also said “this is who y’all players want to be led by,” along with, “I thought Football was a team sport and it’s clearly being individualized by beliefs.”

          Joe, I think nobody but 15 are allowed if anyone didn't bother.

            This Viking shithead comes on here and makes a blatantly political topic and opinion about it and then claims it ain't politics ...... sheeeeesh. Get the fuck out of here you outsider bastard, and stay the hell out.

            I'll put my content comments in FYI where they belong.
            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

              Similar protocols for the press.

              Tom Pelissero
              @TomPelissero
              Major developments for media: Fully vaccinated media will be permitted to conduct in-person interviews with players for the first time since early 2020. Unvaccinated media not allowed in press box, field, sidelines, locker room, etc.

                I get it Tex, it is a football thing though. There are actual rules agreed upon. I'll try and shut the fuck up on the politics. I'd ask you too but that would be an impossible task for you.

                  Looks like NO to players riding kids bikes and players signing autographs.

                    You ignorant enemy bastard, this whole thing is politics, and you stupidly saying it is not is not only false, but it is taking a poltical side. I say again, get the fuck out - peddle your shit to the damn Vikings forums if they can even read and write over there.

                      I have a tin foil hat on you moron, you cannot read my thoughts. Plus the chip they injected me with not only protects me from covid but allows me to see across great distances.

                        Joe, I did read somewhere that the protocols would be re-evaluated at the end of preseason. That should be interesting.

                          He's not offering an opinion on whether the rule are appropriate. Stay out of the thread Tex and let the adults have a non political conversation.

                            i just played in a pro-am golf outing with some professional golfers. usually the golfers are allowed to hang out with us after the golf and have a lot of fun and are also allowed to enjoy the resort they were staying in

                            however, this time, only 50 percent were vaccinated. so because of this, the players were forced to stay away from everything. they could either be on the course, in their rooms, or in a special little room for players

                            it sounds like many of the players were very pissed off at the ones who refuse to get vaccinated because it was ruining all the fun for the others

                            so i could see this leading to some tension amongst teammates

                              The rules are pretty serious, wow. Who wouldn't get vaccinated knowing the regiment. Probably a good thing for society.

                              I would agree this will cause division, etc. I think the rules are written intentionally to be that way so people get vaxxed so we can all move on.
