Their body, their choice. Is that not how the saying goes?

I have been vaccinated, and I would highly recommend vaccination for anybody who asked me about it ...... but I agree, it is their right not to do so. I wouldn't want a can of worms opened that would force any kind of medical treatment on a person who did not want it.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, that's for sure.

Same here I got vaccinated after a lot of thought and as much research I could do and decided it was best for me. No side effects or anything I feel fine didn’t have to miss or leave work, no sick or weak feelings, I was fine

Teams have to be careful about that, however.

Earlier this off season, Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane stated that he would absolutely release any player that was not vaccinated. He thought that if the majority of the team's players and staff were vaccinated, it would be a competitive advantage.

Well, the league was pretty quick to address those comments. They let Beane know that you cannot release a player because of vaccination status.

The NFL spoke with Bills GM Brandon Beane this week following his comments regarding releasing an unvaccinated player, per league source. A team may not release a player solely due to vaccination status.

The Players Association also made some comments shortly afterwards indicating that they would be watching teams to see if they make any such cuts.

Yes. Covid already cost us a game and probably the division. This will be a pain next season.

Fuck Darius Leonard.

I think Leonard has been outspoken about his anti-vaccination belief.

Ballard always goes on about how he has a team of unselfish, team first players on the Colts.

Apparently that is a bunch of BS.

I guess it is okay for players to give opinions so long as they are the ones Butter agrees with.
