Punching Bag Posted April 23, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[edited to remove generalized, non football discussion] I would presume, because that player hates wearing a mask while he works out. Can't blame him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Small steps. This will no doubt encourage vaccinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted April 23, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t fail it if they aren’t being tested...aka players could still get covid, the league just won’t care as much...👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
