Ron's got a lot of nerve being out in the sun all those years; this is totally his fault.
NFL announces new punishments for games that are PPD for covid next season

Everything about that quote is great. Treat them like the children that they are (my 2 year old also hates getting shots). I hope that the these players' [grudging] acceptance in the face of a vaccine mandate is mirrored by the general population when it's required of millions of public employees nationwide.
Oh I have something even better!

Cole Beasely is an asshole. The Bills are also assholes for tweeting out his "statement" that has, as its cornerstone, purposeful misinformation in it. I hope he shreds his ACL tomorrow.
These motherfuckers will go to town on painkillers, take every bullshit suplement their trainers throw their way, drink "concussion preventing water" or whatever the fuck else and then draw the line at a vaccine. It's infuriating.
Yep, the Bills are enabling and supporting his dangerous behavior. Just a disgraceful organization.
The NFL rates are actually pretty good overall. I know the niners are over 90 percent vaccinated.
Most of the players get it. It’s just the vocal assholes.
Interesting anecdote from Eagles camp, where vaccination rate is around 90%

You have to think this mentality among FOs isn't exactly unique. Can a team do that outright or is he merely saying the quiet part out loud?
Dude doesn’t seem to realize that he’s going to get old. Probably sooner than he thinks.
NFL teams can cut players for any reason they want, or no reason at all.
So, yes, a team can do that.
Ok. At this point the NFL needs to step in and tell the Bills to cut this shit out now. And if the NFL is fine with it…….

It's really bizarre and irresponsible for a franchise to be actively promoting this insanity. If Beasley did it on his own, it would be bad and stupid enough. But to have the imprimatur of the team itself? What possibly could be their motivation? Do they sense this plays well with their fanbase? I know western NY is a vastly different place than southern/eastern NY.

He is a complete buffoon who does not want to accept the fact that his personal thoughts are completely wrong.
Your fandom was the inspiration for a borderline illegal yet brilliant Codenames clue from @Marciano490
Seacawks!
Ok, enough is enough, the NFL really needs to step in and tell them to cut this shit

What are these guys actually worried about? I know the common thought is that the people refusing to get vaccinated are all wild Q Anon followers, but the rate in a lot of inner cities is under 40%, so that can't be the only widespread explanation. Just once I would like to hear what the real concern is about taking the shot.Oh I have something even better!

Hundreds of millions of people have taken the shots and are fine. If you're legitimately worried about the medical effects, you deserve to be scorned just like the conspiracy theory people at this point.
This cannot be it. You don't have to see the needle. And you barely feel it. That doesn't explain anything.
I was being a bit facetious, though fear of needles is irrational but a real thing. I'm willing to bet the number of folks for which it is a big reason is small but certainly not zero.
Thankfully no, but I do know two people who claim spoons and forks stick to their arm due to magnets being implanted into them.
Black Americans have pretty solid reasons to be skeptical of a lot of our healthcare protocols and institutions. It’s not right in this case, but I can get my brain to a place where I empathize with their skepticism more than your classic “you can’t tell me what to do” anti-vaccer. It’s why Spike Lee and others have been involved with campaigns that have targeted inner-city populations. It’s still ultimately a failure of our system that these people won’t get vaccinated but it’s a different failure than those refusing out of some sense of the vaccine infringing on their freedoms or whatever.
My decision to listen to it was terrible and bad and I feel bad for making it.
Your punishment would ordinarily be to have to listen to it again but the authorities have determined that would be considered cruel and unusual so you've suffered enough
I don’t know how much more of this stupid I can take.

A friend of mine in the same profession as me attended a convention yesterday in the UK; anyone who could show proof of vaccination was given a blue wristband to wear...........anyone who could not was given a yellow wristband, masks were required for all attendees with yellow wrist bands. optional for people with blue wrist bands, he said almost all of them wore one regardless.
He said no one took issue with it.
The NFL; not so much.
It seems like players who choose not to be vaccinated don’t want to be accountable for their choice.
It goes back to what yourself or another poster said; bottom line is they don't want to be told what to do.
That sort of half assed logic boggles my mind.
Reminds me of my cousin who refuses to get vaccinated, his main gripe is he does not want to be told what to do.
Thick as a bowl of oatmeal.
To be fair, he completely misunderstands the fundamental problem with segregation, racial (and other) bias, etc.
Like, so fucking fundamentally misunderstands it that it’s almost impressive. Like when a dog eats a whole wheel of cheese.
Amazing to me how many fungible talents who’ll be drafted over in 9 months are willing to throw their careers away over this.
I don't root for a bad outcome for anyone, but I do recognize the societal value of a serious case among prominent anti-vaxxers.
It's a paradox.
