It's getting really hard to be an NFL fan these days (Lamar Jackson edition).

I'm beyond tired hearing people say that it's a personal decision. The minute you set foot outside your home with a greater likelihood of getting and transmitting the virus to others is the end of it being a personal decision. Do they not realize why the study of infectious diseases is called PUBLIC health?

1. He is a really good football player but he is not an MD so if he doesn't want to get the vaccine ...

... he doesn't have to play or get paid to play. Fuck 'em.

2. I'm pretty sure I could find a dumb ass in every profession, if I looked.

3. I never explicitly wish for specific individuals to get sick, but I do hope that some of the NFL

teams with high profile unvaxxed players have those players miss games -- and lose them -- because of the league's COVID protocols. I look forward to the outrage of pundits and fans, and how it affects their reputation around the league.

4. league needs to put their foot down - no vaxx -no play -no pay.

5. Lamar Jackass.

6. It's becoming more disturbing who the players are rejecting it

It's not just the Cole Beasley/Kirk Cousins types, if you catch my drift. And may be a greater sign nationwide who's rejecting the vax.

8. If "your drift"

is that vaccine hesitancy amongst African-Americans is a thing, this is not news.

The strawman that every anti-vaxxer is a white republican is doing a disservice to minority communities that need more explicit and honest outreach.

7. Yeah, I live in a suburb of Buffalo and Cole Beasely from the Buffalo Bills is vocal anti-vax

Cole should just shut up with his conspiracy crap.

12. I'm a die-hard, life long Bills fan and I want Beasley gone.

I know cutting him would hurt the team, but he's saying is just so unbelievably harmful and misleading. I'm also trying to pretend that Josh Allen didn't flirt with being an anti-vaxxer earlier this year.

9. The Cowboys-Steelers Hall of Fame 2021 game drew 7.3 million viewers, better than 2019

The Falcons-Broncos drew 5.3 million in 2019.

And this year's game played opposite the Olympics programming. Of course almost all the Olympics programs were delayed, so recording and watching later was a definite option.

10. wonder whatever happened with

those covid-surviving athletes having heart issues. That alone would hustle my arm to a nearby shot.

11. Thank you NFL players!

Thank you, you spoiled pieces of shit, for helping Covid to continue to spread and continue to mutate until it creates a variant that is lethal enough to evade our vaccines and kill millions more.

Oh, what heroes you are!!
