Unvaccinated Players Could Mean Forfeits

[Troglodyte]

Finally, a decision by the NFL I like…

NFL informs clubs that COVID-19 outbreaks among unvaccinated players could lead to forfeited games

As the NFL approaches the 2021 season, the league informed clubs that it would not extend the season to accommodate a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players that causes a game cancellation.

Too bad it'll never happen. A game being forfeited means no money for the league from that game which will never be allowed.
They care about the money, nothing else. If games weren't forfeited last year, they aren't going to be this year.

bet there's a lot of covering up (and not wearing masks)

Of course you would. Fascists like forced/coerced compliance limiting freedom.

From what I heard, this new "subtle" strong arm tactic by the Roge includes both teams' players losing their pay for that week regardless if you were on the team unable to play. The NFLPA will have a field day with that in court even with the players on the team that forfeited.

Force all players to get vaccinated, if you want to win money you gotta follow the protocol

Nobody here gives a flying **** what you like, freeloader. Stick to trolling P&R.

I can't see the union agreeing to that.

Flog is now on record saying that he believes people should get the jab in order to make a living in their chosen profession.

'Merica!

I don't know how they can stop it. If you don't want to be vaccinated then don't play and don't get paid. I look for a lot of different venues to start checking for vaccination cards. I have no doubt ole' Rog is all about the money. This ends up in court in some fashion.

I always love how something screws the Steelers and then the next year it's fixed. That would have been two less games the Steelers would have played and some key injuries may not have happened.

I thought he was being sarcastic, but can't read Litos' mind (not sure would even want to open that sick, depraved can of worms).

Stupid. Remember when free citizens had the right to make their own choices?

Like I've said, nice knowing the rules before the game is played.

**** the rog as last year was proof he has an agenda against the STEELERS.


Salute the nation

Maybe if they argue the case that it's an experimental vaccine that hasn't even been FDA approved?

If it happens in Ohio they have a case as we have a new law barring discrimination against anyone for being or not being vaccinated. Update: The new law is only for schools and public universities the broader law has not passed damn it.

Easy, you're changing the conditions of a pre-existing contract. You can't have a negotiated contract (the CBA) and then have one side come in and add stipulations that would financially hurt the other side (an unvaccinated player). Even the changes to last season had to be done in concert with the NFLPA.

 

[Roy92040]

I think not extending the season is the right thing to do. If your team doesn't have enough players to play a game, tough shitski you forfeit the game. Last year they didn't have the poke so they were left little choices. This year they have better options so they should be using them.

 

[Troglodyte]

Of course you would. Fascists like forced/coerced compliance limiting freedom.

Like the freedom employers have to institute their own policies and the freedom employees have to quit their job if they don’t like those policies? Those freedoms?

Then what are you doing here? I think you do.

The NFL front office are citizens making their own choice.

It would financially hurt both sides. There could be something in the contract that states the NFL maintains the right to cancel games or seasons for whatever reason they choose.
