1. Any NFL employee who wanted the vaccination has already had it...those that haven't, did by choice.

2. If said vaccine doesn't prevent catching or transferring...only lessens the severity, then everyone who took it is protected...as well as they can be.

3. If only unvaccinated people were able to spread it...this might make more sense. That is not the case...vaccinated people can spread it the same. It doesn't shield you from catching it..

4. So essentially nothing changes if they are vaccinated or not...only the ones who chose not to... might develop more serious effects.

So what exactly are they being punished for again? It seems logic has flown out the window here...

They are trying to paint it as vaccinated people dont spread it...which is false and the unvaccinated people are lepers...killing the herd.

The problem is that you have superstars with $20m contracts, and we can't pretend it isn't a big deal if an entire starting lineup gets wiped out because they get legitimately sick.

We can't just dismiss that as... Oh, well they assumed the risk, so they just won't play or get paid. No, that ****s the owners, it ****s the fans, it ****s the NFL schedules, it ****s the host city. I don't think anyone is too worried about this outbreak among vaccinated players. But losing players like Josh allen and Cole Beasley is a hugely expensive price to pay.
