NFL and Covid Issues - Initially Asked in Shark Pool To Keep it 100% NFL (2 Viewers)

[ignatiusjreilly]

We've known decades that the NFL doesn't care about player safety. The NFL, which is a small group of billionaires, doesn't care about the vaccine or your politics. They don't care about the CDC or Fauci or the opinions of facebook scientists. They run a multi-billion dollar business. They put a policy in place based on the best information available to them from their experts designed to ensure the games would be played. They will change the policy whenever and however needed to keep the games going. This was all known back in September when this thread was started. All the argument and commentary in the 60+ pages since then is almost entirely meaningless noise and classic PSF whining.

(To be fair, the original purpose of this thread was to discuss players who were out because of Covid. But in terms of the arguments that emerged as a result of that discussion, this is absolutely right and there’s really nothing else to debate)

so much for player safety huh ?

but who are we kidding - this is about getting players on the field, making money ... they don't want to know if Rodgers has covid - he needs to be on the field so the NFL can make money

so just change the rules - simple

Supposedly there are only 12 of those players left on the 8 playoff teams.

Supposedly there are only 12 of those players left on the 8 playoff teams.

but that's how its been for most of the NFL season - almost all the covid players were vaccinated because almost all the players had the shots - unvaccinated players are exceptionally few and that's the way its been all along

playoff's - big money - can you imagine GB making the Super Bowl and them testing Rogers and saying yeah sorry, he can't play in SB

no WAY would NFL risk that - so they changed the rules so they can make money

period - end of story, nothing to do with science or safety and it never has been

The NFL needs to take the combine somewhere warm and do it outside.
