Society as a whole? Absolutely... let Darwin have his Covid moment.
But point of the thread is that Covid can still impact a team and derail SB dreams in 2021...... and maybe well beyond.
Not if said teams are 100% vaccinated. But there are still plenty of freedom loving anti vaxxers jonseying for a Darwin Award out there unfortunately. As the old saw says, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. The amount of misinformation and disinformation circulating out there is stunning. You'd think with 200+ million doses already administered the maroons would get it through their thick skulls the vaccines are safe, and they work. But- but- but, we might turn into one of those Total Recall Mars mutants in a year or two.
From my perspective, take this anti vaxxing epidemic back to the 1950s, people would still be dying from polio.

Heard that a court ruled today that if you are an employer you can mandate your employees be vaccinated.
So bottoms up NFLPA...

I remember, a bunch of years ago now, watching a 60 minutes episode where they were doing a piece on a company owner who mandated that anyone in his employ NOT smoke cigarettes. Not on the job and not on their own time. His argument was that smoking makes a lot of people sick and it would impact his insurance with medical treatments required. And I'm sure a better insurance rate by having no smoking employees. It's his company and he could do it...so he did. Of course, employees were free to go and find a new job if they liked.

PS, from a Browns perspective, Garrett needs to lecture these knuckleheads and tell them, I came down with covid- it was no fun at all. AND IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU TOO.

Apparently you didn't get the memo that Covid was just a liberal conspiracy that will end the day after the election...
I mean, I'm sure it was all over the Political Forum. ?

That's unconstitutional... Typical Lib bullshit!

That's unconstitutional... Typical Lib bullshit!
You have any proof Nickers? BTW, you also have the constitutional right to jump off of the I-480 bridge if you have a mind to.
So, I'll just put it to you this way... Even if we can't demand you be vaccinated- what we CAN do is if you're unvaccinated and come down with Covid- your health insurance isn't going to pay for it- we're not paying you for loss of work time, and we'll also hold you liable for any collateral damages caused to other players on the team. That will CERTAINY be legal. Just like employers banning smoking in the workplace by employees...

Here was a surprise for me with my first post COVID-vaccine in person visit to the VA Hospital in Temple. They have not only banned smoking in the hospital, they have eliminated designated smoking areas outside the hospital and on all VA grounds surrounding the hospital right up to the public street. I can only assume this is part of a new nationwide VA facilities ban, which of course is federal. I have no idea if that is also the case with all US government facilities.

This guy has been sitting on his ass and collecting a disability check for years, and he's complaining about white people not being able to get jobs.
That medicinal weed must be powerful stuff.

Now that the precedent has been set, I'm an employer and will immediately require anyone working for me to take my non FDA approved injection that reverses anyone afflicted with dumbassism, and prevents it in those yet inflicted.
I will not be held responsible if it gives them cancer in 3 years or makes them grow a flipper either..... Fuck! This is gonna be sweet!

I was going to use another analogy with me requiring my employees to be vegetarian and eat only what I provide (it's safe - I promise!), coupled with daily weigh-ins and weight limits, all to save them from the leading cause of death on this planet every second of every day..... Ah shit, I did it anyway. My bad. ?
Alright, I'll slither out of this thread now and let you all wring your hands freely and without judgment... After this of course:

Hasn't been seen there of late... Apparently he got so butthurt after I gave him a two day kiddie timeout for repeated profane attacks against another poster he sort of left. I try not to waste much time there anymore- it's not a discussion forum- it's a right wing opinion forum. I'm pretty sure one of the posters is a certified QAnon true believer, and there's several others right there on the lunatic fringe. In that regard, from my Moderator POV- I'll just leave them alone. The outcry that I would dare try to keep things civil taught me not to bother in the future. You can post any crackpot right wing conspiracy there with zero fear of being censored for it. Amazing that of late, 53% of Republicans believe Trump is still the President

Not exactly. Employers DO have the right to discriminate against unhealthy practices in their respective work environments. Stuff like drug testing. A lot of places showing up for work stoned or drunk is going to get you fired, no questions asked. On a personal level- my wife (healthcare worker) decided to quit smoking years ago because- the hospital she works at didn't demand it- but if you tested positive for nicotine, you were going to get charged a hefty premium on your health insurance because of your "freedom" to light up.
So in that regard- not being vaccinated against covid certainly does increase your odds of becoming "unhealthy". It's not just well, you'll be sick for a day or two either. I believe Tex had a friend who spent weeks in ICU on a respirator- and I have a wine group associate that was off work for months post covid, and a year later, she's still not close to 100%. So, since you want to have the freedom to not get your covid shot- you're free to look for a job at an employer who doesn't insist on it.
Regarding the NFL- the players aren't being mandated to get vaccinated, but MHO is you're not being a very good teammate if you decide against doing so. Essentially- any of the ancillary staff that decides against getting vaccinated are effectively being banned from any contact at team facilities.

Oh you are funny... I will tell you a true hospital story. One of our guards almost got killed at work... He was pushing a 600 pounder up a ramp in a wheelchair, and it tipped over backwards and fell on him.
