The NFL has finalized a COVID-19 policy for the 2021 season. It’s putting the onus on teams to get their players vaccinated.

Good for the NFL.....let's see how well Cole Beasley is accepted in the locker room if he causes a covid out break and buffalo starts forfeiting games.

Key points I like:

In addition, players on BOTH teams won’t be paid for games that aren’t played as well. So even if it’s the other team’s fault that a game is not being played, players on both teams will be punished. It seems a good bet that peer pressure will work to boost the vaccination rate across the league.

This appears to be Commissioner Roger Goodell pointing a gun at the 32 franchises and saying “get the vaccine, or get some problems.” This should ratchet up the peer pressure in locker rooms with teammates holding each other accountable for their status.

yep this was in the finance news this week. This will be the game plan of business for the anti-vax people.

Don't like the other team does not get paid. They should not be punished for the other team's stupidity

It isn't 100% need to be vaccinated but what is the % needed

No wonder O'Brien got rid of him. What a moron.

Yeah but many got moved around. Games on Wednesday and switching opponent so bye weeks could match up. I sense that is not gonna happen this season

The vaccines are failing even worse and worse than you did in your goofy contest thread.
