2021 Covid Protocols in the NFL

[wist43]

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.

So you admit that you're government super-weapon??

How far can you see??

[wthigoot]

Curious what the rules are for players that have already had the COVID and recovered; can't find that case mentioned in the articles I looked at. Seems like they should be just like the vaccinated. Wouldn't think they would need vaccination if they already have the antibodies from having it.

Sharpe, you're almost as ignorant a piece of shit as rastak. At least, as a Packer fan you are in the right place, unlike that other stupid bastard.

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.

Chill, Tex. Rastak’s cool. Sure, somewhere along the dude’s journey around the sun, he fell to the dark side. But in his youth, Rastak was a long-haired, guitar-playing Anakin Skywalker. I’d take Rastak over uncool Pack fans like Tony O’Day any day of the week.

Btw, Tex, get your fucking shot and come to Green Bay. 12’s tenacious boycott of the Pack means that, to borrow some bad puns from Joemailman and Prof Rand, the Summer of Love - aptly named for the start of the Jordan Love era - is about to begin, prematurely. For those who come to Green Bay, summertime will be a Love-in.

Btw 2: Harlan (drums), Harrell (guitar), Rastak (bass) and I (keyboards, lead vocalist) have formed a softcore, Coldplay-inspired, rock band called “The Great Arm of Butte.” We are currently working on our debut album, “Songs About Ted and Tank.” Our awesome lead single will be the ballad, “A LOVE Song for Aaron Rodgers.” In the streets of Green Bay during the Summer of Love, we’ll be a-rocking and, maybe, even a-raping to covers of Wu-Tang.

Thanks, Tex! I love you too. If the thread bothers you much, you should definitely keep coming back to it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

All I know is getting my kids vaccinated for measles is how I like to make my political voice heard.

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.

This is absolutely a political thread.

[bobblehead]

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.

So, since this is a football topic, and masking is part of it, am I allowed to post about 50 links, including from the CDC itself pointing out that masking doesn't stop a virus? Can I point out the NFL is being either political or stupid? Can I point out the NFL is unjustly punishing guys who don't want an experimental vaccine?

[bobblehead]

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.

Oh, but yes he is.

"Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision."

This is a statement that ignores the VAERS website operated by the CDC having over 5000 deaths related to the virus and over 20k adverse reactions resulting in hospitalization. Both numbers that are about 100x higher than what would have gotten any vaccine pulled from the shelfs in the past 20 years.

Now, if we want to stay away from any political discussion, I'm all for it, but the very nature of the topic is political.

Anti bodies only last 90 days per most medical experts, so booster shots should be required every 90 days. #science

Fuck off. This is why we can't have nice things.

That comment wasn't necessary. I read it in the context that the rules are really pushing the players in that direct. But no, the NFL rules can be discussed without going off the deep end. That is if you can act like an adult. If you want to blow the thread up by intentionally being a jerk, so be it. My advice to you is if you can't contain yourself, ignore the thread.

The cavalry arrives, and just in the nick of time. Good job, Bobblehead. If any of the head-in-the-sand types have the balls to venture into the danger zone of FYI, we have a year or more of posts on this topic. Hell yeah it's political - for a dozen or so reasons I'm not gonna post here, having been stung before for replying to political shit of others in this part of the forum.

Who's gonna be the first NFL player to get a bad reaction to the vaccine and end up in the hospital? Who's gonna be the first 55 or 60 year old coach or locker room attendant or whatever to die from the thing? And who's gonna get sued when that shit happens?

Says the guy that in the very next paragraph posts one of the most political statement in the thread.
