Saxum Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 I hope players who do not get vaccinated do not get paid if tested and fail test. 1 1 2 1
TheFunPolice Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 If they said you didn't have to wear a mask once you get the shot everyone would sign up 3 2

Expand That seems vindictive. It's not required for the players at this point, so how can the NFL or the team penalize them for not doing something that's not required?

They also resist OTAs, penalties for players deliberatrly injuring other players and safety equipment. Do not think teams should pay for players who do not at least make effort. 1

Expand Doesn't matter why, the point is, it's not required. You're suggesting the teams should penalize players for something that's not required. I don't think the NFLPA would go for penalizing players who don't show up for "voluntary" OTAs or who don't wear "optional" safety equipment either. It's either a job requirement or it's not, and if it's not, the NFL shouldn't be able to penalize players for it. 1 1
eball Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Small steps. This will no doubt encourage vaccinations.
todd Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Maybe a good incentive would be that you don't need to wear masks on the sideline if you are vaccinated. It is outside, although you are within 6 feet of people. And selfishly, it drives me crazy seeing people who can't properly wear a mask. I know it is the OCD in me, so forgive me! 2
