NFL Coach Is ‘Disappointed, Frustrated’ With His Unvaccinated Players



Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has been very outspoken about his opinion on the COVID-19 vaccine: everyone should get it.

But, despite repeated attempts to get his players protected from the virus, several of Zimmer’s Vikings remain unvaccinated.

Ahead of tonight’s training camp practice in TCO Stadium, three Minnesota quarterbacks have been ruled out due to COVID-19 protocols, including starter Kirk Cousins.

I hope the coach does what you said, and doesn't let them anywhere near the team.

I suspect higher ups will overrule him though.

He is a decent starting quarterback but hardly irreplacible. He might find himself out of a job.

But I am genuinely curious what each of the NFL no-vax knuckleheads would do if one of their number were dramatically struck down (dead, in the ICU, etc).
