When you prevent a person from working, or even provide a "hardship", labor laws get pretty serious. The protocol might end up being legal. Al I'm saying is they haven't been challenged and adjudicated yet. When it's the subject of collective bargaining and the union has agreed to those protocols... I would not be surprised to find that they are given great deference. In fact, it is not clear who he has to sue in order to challenge them; does he have standing to challenge without also suing the NFLPA?

Americans have choices and consider he may just have had enough and ready to move ahead, on his own terms. He is literally free to not take the vaccine as long as he follows the protocols. This seems like a fair compromise between personal choice and safety of those involved. The players union (which represents Cole) agreed to these terms with the owners as a means to protect everyone involved as best as possible while not having any mandates for a vaccine to preserve personal choice. If he wants to be a baby and not get vaccinated and not follow the protocols then he is free to retire. 1

That's way different than cuttlng a player to get to a vaccine threshold, IMO. Cole is being an ass which is cuttable I think 1 1

There's a legitimate debate about forced vaccinations in regards to public safety, but we aren't having it. What's the mortality rate threshold a disease has to hit? How infectious must it be? How effective is the vaccine? Instead, we shame people for not "following the science" and just doing as they are told. Just so I'm not accused, I have gotten my first shot (Canada sucks) and am booked to get my second but I will not be treating people differently based on whether they are vaccinated or not and I think people who do are gross. I sure hope this post isn't too political since this opinion is contrary to that of some moderators. This applies fully to Beasley's situation. 1

Americans have choices and consider he may just have had enough and ready to move ahead, on his own terms. He certainly has the right to retire and live his life free of the agreed upon protocols and all of the other encumbering rules that he has to deal with as a pro football player. He can move about freely (in most states) and he does not have to get vaccinated. Alternately, he can not get vaccinated and abide by the rules agreed upon with the players' union, understanding they might even be relaxed later in the season if warranted. He would then get paid. Both of those are choices he could make, and may still make. Instead, on the surface, it appears he wants to defy the rules in some form of "resistance" so that he can be a martyr and forced to retire. I would expect, if he makes that choice, that he will then fight (via his lawyers) to get paid for not playing. 3
