There is no way to verify status. There is no record repository. There is no way they can prove the cards validity. 

It’s not a felony to make a fake. They are not govt documents. The crime is a felony when you use the cdc logo. If the logo is changed enough to make it a parody. People checking don’t look at logo, they look at dates and batch numbers. 

 

Parodied cdc logo, no crime. 

Yeah, this would hold up in court

The logo doesnt have to be slightly changed or parodied.  No where in the law does it say that.  It just says misrepresented.  Also NYS has a state law.  You are talking about federal law.

When did he turn in his first card and when did he actually get vaccinated if he did get vaccinated at all though.

I can see it now though, AB pulling up to the drive-through, rolling up his sleeve and sticking his arm out the window.

 

"Alright give me the jab."

Not sure about the felony for fake card thing, but the rest I'm think you're mistaken. I'm sure they have a way to detect if a card is fake or not.

Didn’t former Sabre Evander Kane recently get busted for this

Quote

Brown's attorney, Sean Burstyn, told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport on Thursday that Brown is vaccinated against COVID-19.

"After an extensive educational process conducted throughout our organization this past offseason highlighting the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines, we received completed vaccination cards from all Tampa Bay Buccaneers players and submitted the required information to the NFL through the established process in accordance with league policy," the Buccaneers said in a statement. "All vaccination cards were reviewed by Buccaneers personnel and no irregularities were observed."

The NFL released to following statement on the Brown report: "We are aware of the report and have been in contact with the club. We will review the matter."

Rapoport reported that teams are responsible for verifying personnel and player vaccination status. No team has reported any issues during the verification process, per Rapoport. 

Any attempt by team personnel or players to use a forged or fake card -- a federal criminal offense -- would be reviewed under the league's personal-conduct policy. Rapoport added that teams were instructed to scrutinize vaccination cards during a summer COVID-19 video conference as the use of fake cards is illegal and presents health and safety risks for the organization.

As I recall, Arians has a very strict internal team policy on covid protocols 

And trafficking! 

 

 

OK.  I mean if anyone is going to tell it like it is on this subject it has to be a Beasley.

Evander Kane was suspended 21 games without pay for doing the same thing. The NFL should follow suit. 

Nobody cares about hockey.

 

Everyone cares about football.

 

The NFL doesn't really care about this either. Case in point: The Tennessee Titans of last year.

[billsfan89]

Seems like this might be a case of a former chef of AB going "rogue" and planting a fake story about him. Either way the NFL is going to investigate this to see what happened. AB is claiming he was vaccinated. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Whether or not anybody cares about hockey or not isn’t the point. The point is, does the NFL care about egregious violations of its protocols or not.

He should have simply said "I have been immunized"....and the sponsorship offers would have flowed like wine....
