Is it really that hard? Focus on the Football aspect of the topic, and stay away from playing Epidemiologist, Virologist, Covid Transmission Expert, and Political Scientist. I'll give it a try: since the NFLPA has already requested daily testing of vaccinated players, is it reasonable to assume that the majority of their members, who are majority vaccinated, are in favor of this, and would have no problem testing more frequently? If that's the case, then I don't understand why the NFL doesn't throw the NFLPA a bone and go with the daily testing for all that the NFLPA requested. Are they baulking at the expense, or what? 6 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that tweet saying they're pushing for mandatory vaccinations is true maybe it's negotiations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) I don’t want to say too much, but let’s just put it this way. This season could become very complicated, especially if testing vaxxed players takes place. Last season was nothing short of a miracle, which could happen again, but I just hope for the best.

Andy1 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If the league want the season to play out with minimal disruptions, they should be testing everyone as much as possible, find the positives as soon as possible and isolate them from the rest of the team. It’s that simple. 2 weeks between tests for vaxed players is nuts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the season will become very complicated if they don't test vaxxed players and staff. We just saw why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me the right thing is to find out, by more testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
