2021 Covid Protocols in the NFL

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

?

[Zool]

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.

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

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.

I might need an 8-track of that single. Could be the hit that "Godfather of Green Bay" movie unfortunately never was.

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?

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.

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.

I thought i stumbled into fyi with my fat fingers.

I have strong personal feelings based on a variety of scientific sources about this subject. But they are mine about my and my families health. This is a sensitive issue no matter where you stand an people are just to dam sensitive today to reasonably discuss opposing views so it will remain my opinion.

In a football context I feel the NFL and nflpa can set there own rules and regulations but one thing in tbe vaccinated vrs unvaccinated comparision bothered me. That was thr no social mefia sponsorships appearances etc for unvaccinated. If it is only on nfl.com exclusive content then they can li.it that as thet wish. Anywhere else is the league and players association over stepping there boundaries. Even nfl network is an arms lenght organization and a seperate entity legally so they would need there own seperate policy.

Please tell me, a parent with 5 kids aged 5 to 17, what my own unequivocal opinion is so I can make sure I am conforming.

Your statement is drivel dude. Parents of little kids are all over the board on this just like society.

If you want to point out trends i have noticed that parents of kids in organized sports tend to be less pro mask than kids in more artistic activities (ie piano or drama).

[Joemailman]

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.

General consensus seems to be that antibodies only last 5-8 months. Even people who have been vaccinated will likely need a booster shot late 2021/early 2022.

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!

Take it to FYI!

Nice try, Rastak.

[red]

The same assholes that are trying to turn this into a political thread are the same ones that turned one of mine into a political thread that got me banned indefinitely

Come on mad, it's the same instigators time and time again. Save your fucking site for ducks sake, and get rid of the couple that keep pulling this shit

[RashanGary]

We’re trapped in these systems. Might as well be cattle, being lead to our stalls.

[RashanGary]

Do we have to make this dramatic? It’s a sports topic with some political grey area. No one is trying to break rules here, it’s no ones fault that vaccination is becoming coerced and in some cases forced, and it trickles into football.
