As we reported earlier, The NFL will go all out to force players to be vaccinated.
They intend to not only make any player who refuses to pay, but also make his team pay, so that the team can put pressure on the people themselves.
The NFL announced that if any game this season has to be cancelled because an unvaccinated player is infected with the Wuhan coronavirus, it may have huge consequences.
According to the source, the NFL has just notified the club that if the game cannot be rescheduled during the 2021 18-week season due to the COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team that broke out will be disqualified and counted as a playoff game. The seeded team loses.
big influence.

The following is more from today’s memo. The memo also stated that the team that cancels the game due to the outbreak of the unvaccinated player/staff will bear financial losses and may be subject to disciplinary action by the commissioner. Wow. pic.twitter.com/Q86a2WcG1K

The responsible team may be liable for economic losses, players may not be paid, and those who have not been vaccinated may be subject to disciplinary action.
But I want to pay attention to the response of the response. Not everyone accepts this quietly. Some people don’t want to get it, others oppose that people are forced to get it. Some criticized the union for not standing up for the players.
Arizona Cardinals star DeAndre Hopkins said on Twitter: “Never thought I would say that, but being placed in a position to hurt my team because I didn’t want to participate in the vaccination made me doubt me. In the future of the NFL.” He deleted it later. He also wrote on Twitter: “Freedom?”

This @NFL The new memo they sent to the team today is completely wrong. What’s new! ? At this point, these needles are basically forced into the player’s arm. Every player/person should have a practical “choice” in this matter. They sent a CLEAR message today.

Some of you obviously don’t understand what I’m saying here, haha… the NFL is pressing/”influencing” people to get vaccinated. They said that if it broke out, the team would receive heavy penalties. I mean my teammates will not feel my pressure because… https://t.co/odRnl7xUUZ

…Regardless of whether you are vaccinated or not, you may still be infected with the new coronavirus.
I think my point is very simple, but I don’t think it is, haha-Jalen Ramsey (@jalenramsey) July 22, 2021
DJReed of the Seahawks:
I don’t want to get a vaccine. We don’t know the long-term effects. If you are vaccinated, you can still get COVID. NFL and NFLPA make access to vaccines a competitive advantage. I just got the vaccine because I don’t want to hinder my team, I don’t know how I feel about it🤷🏾♂️.

Buffalo Bills player Col Beasley said he would not get it and confirmed it.
Nothing has changed. I still live freely. Good night.

He also had a polite vaccine discussion with his teammate and vaccine supporter Jerry Hughes.
Jerry, so if a vaccinated player offers a potential disease to an unvaccinated player, would it be cool? And players with potential conditions will be blamed for this. From the minority to the majority, is the minority now unimportant? https://t.co/sJC1ec0DC1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers player Leonard Fournett seems to indicate that he is not suitable.

Matt Juden of the New England Patriots says the Players Association “Fucking sucks.”
It seems that at least two coaches were also out because of this.
Rick Dennison out After refusing to accept the COVID-19 vaccine, as the Vikings offensive line coach/match coordinator, the Patriots United Offensive line coach Kolpovich is also known as “Decisions related to the COVID-19 vaccine and NFL guidelines.” They may not be the last to be out for this.
The Players Association seems to have no counterattack here, which is a bad thing. They are not fighting for the players, if there is no other reason, just to impose such potential restrictions on them. But it seemed that they were frightened by this topic. The value of the union is so much.
