Guess that they’ll just have to suspend Waller, Jacobs and Rodney Hudson to send a message.

Tasker just said the Raiders are also under investigation for unauthorized locker room access? Whaaaat?

 

Missed that

the raiders are going to have a chance to really set a precedent that the rest of the league will likely follow.

The way this thing spreads - I am still concerned the Bills players will catch something after playing the Titans.

agree. I can’t believe they let them practice. Did they not even test those guys too? 
 

if I am the bills, I am thinking about refusing to play this week.

Daily testing so I doubt it, since they aren’t bubbled.

Geeeze you’d think Witten would be more cautious given what we know about the elevated risk to the elderly...

I think that they should be forced to start Peterman as their punishment 😂😂.

If they are infected wouldn’t they test positive and in which case have to quarantine?  That wa YL eliminating them from playing this week or next?

 

im not trying to stoke a fire but at some point people will be doing these types of things. They didn’t sign up to play in a bubble like the NBA. So there will be repercussions from this format. I just don’t agree they need to be punished based on what they do outside the facilities. Like if Vegas is allowing such events then have they broken the law?  
 

that being said I think they did lol. 
 

im just trying to get everyone to think out all scenarios.

The NFL is committed to prioritizing safety for players and team staff and will reemphasize the importance of having all NFL personnel follow the established safety protocols.

The point in this instance is that the event itself was NOT following the local government rules - it had 2x the number of allowed people

and

the NFL/NFLPA bargained agreement requires players to adhere to local government guidelines.

 

So it's not a question of "Las Vegas allowing such events" (the event violated the ban on events of >50 people)

And it's not randomly intruding into their personal lives outside the facilities - it's requiring them to keep to the agreement they made

Actually the whole event Darren Waller threw was unlawfully and he got fined for it. Did they know the event was unlawful? No they were most likely acting in ignorance but when it comes to the law that's no excuse. They know a pandemic is going on it was very irresponsible to not make sure all the covid laws were being followed ESPECIALLY being who they are.

 

To your other point, they should be penalized by the league. Suspended? No that would be an overreaction imo but stiff fines are warranted.

Beat me by 1 minute Hap

Very sad...not only blatant disregard for public gatherings, but no masks on top of that. 
 

It will be very interesting to see if/how they are penalized.
