Holy crap! The NFL has informed teams that if theres' a covid outbreak...

and a game has to be cancelled, the team where the outbreak occurred not only forfeits the game, no one on either team gets paid.

And the team with the outbreak has to pay the other team for their lost money, including player salaries. And football players make a lot of money.

That is huge. The NFL is getting serious about pressuring teams to get their players vaccinated. And ya just know the other professional sports leagues will soon follow suit.

I say kudos to the NFL for getting ahead of this serious national health issue. It's usually the NBA that's on top of issues like this.

1. Correct. . .

but if the player is fully vaccinated and still gets COVID-19 then the team will work around it.

They want all players, staffers, coaches, referees, etc. fully vaccinated.

2. I love it.

I wish more organizations would take a hard line on anti-vaxxers. As Macron said, this time we're not staying home. You are.

7. Yeah, It Says Something When FRANCE Is Ahead Of Us

In terms of enforcing/incentivizing vaccines. How about we ship all of our dumbasses over there for a while? The wines & cheeses might do them some good.

5. Explain what you mean. Covid outbreaks are not to be taken lightly.

Are you saying the NFL with hide outbreaks?

Their fan base, a good portion of it at least, might want to take a knee.
