Stfu!!!!!!!
 

Will you all please STFU about the vaccine!!!!!!


It is a personal choice Respect that!!!!!!


I served in the USMC and the USAF for the rights of each and every one of you to be able to make YOUR OWN choice Whether it be kneeling for the anthem to getting or not getting the shot. How many others on here can say that????

I will NEVER tell someone to get or not get the shot.

If you have the shot you are protected (right?) If someone doesn't they are not! WTF should you care!!!!!

All of this is getting to be ridicules. TALK FOOTBALL or it gets moved to the general discussions area (smack shack)

Not censoring. Just tired of this bull shit in EVERY thread!!!

You be you. let others be them. Enough said

Smh...
I hope you're just drunk posting. What on earth?

I agree with Puck.... Let's talk football. We have waited too long for it... Take the rest elsewhere!

I think you are just missing the point that every thread lately gets derailed by vaccination conversation or something political. There is a place for it. Not in every FOOTBALL thread.

When in the service, how many shots did you get? Did you have a choice?

I served in the USMC as well. I 100% agree they should have the right to choose. Doesn’t mean I won’t criticize them for what I see as a selfish or ignorant choice. I support players rights to have sex and have kids but that doesn’t mean I haven’t criticized Antonio Cromartie for having 14 kids with 8 different women. Since when does freedom to do something mean freedom from criticism or judgement?

And it is a huge football story that’s primarily why it’s talked about. Nearly every aspect of the season will be touched by these guys “person choices”. Every game day will be subject to some of the most important players being sidelined unexpectedly hours or a couple days before kickoff. 53 man roster discussion? Affected by players vaccine decisions. Game one matchup with Seattle? Affected. How good of a season will Taylor have? Starting LT, LG, and C have all already missed time for their choice. These supposed high character players have made covid and vaccines the single biggest factor in the season. That makes it a major football story.

Not to mention their attitudes are literally killing people. Go read the story from Texas of the vet who died from fucking gallstones because they couldn’t find him an ICU bed in time. Ignorance and selfishness should be called out even if I support people’s rights to be that way.

Yes. I had the choice whether to join or not. I was not drafted.

Nope. just tired of every thread turning into a covid debate. Take it to general topics section and talk about it all you want.

I'm fine not debating the efficacy of the vaccine or whatever, but considering that we have multiple Pro Bowl level players who don't have it, and the starting QB, and considering that it can sideline them from games and practices, this stuff literally is football related.

Say our idiot starting QB (you know, the one draft picks were traded for) misses some games because of this. Is the only response going to be "hey man, it's his choice man, he has the right to do whatever he wants man, oh well man, that's how it goes man" or is anyone here allowed to say "hey fucking moron, get the vaccine"

But it’s a huge part of football right now, it’s their choice but it can cost the team games so there’s a huge risk involved with this decision. I don’t wanna talk about the shit either but it’s apart of the football discussion there’s no way around it

When the NFL decided how to deal with unvaccinated players they made vaccines an issue. We are at a huge competitive disadvantage. Am I supposed to ignore that?

None of my friends had that choice. They were drafted.

Whether we like it or not, this subject is going to be a major factor throughout the 2021 NFL season ...... so, "Shut up and play" is not an option if we have players on the COVID list.

The season hasn't even started and I'm tired of it already.

I wish I wasn't hearing about it at all. If I were a Falcons fan (think god I'm not, but still), I wouldn't be, as they are actually 100% vaccinated.

As it stands, I'm a Colts fan, and the Colts are at the other end of the spectrum, so thus I have to hear about it a lot. And it would be another thing if it were just the Zack Paschal's of the world who were out, but for the Colts it's affecting the starting QB, Pro Bowl Guard, Pro Bowl Center, and may affect guys like the Pro Bowl LB.

This season has sucked since the 2nd day of training camp.

I feel like it’s only gonna go downhill from here.

Respectfully Puck, it is a huge deal, and a public safety issue.

If it were just the matter of those who don't get the shot getting sick(er) and dying at a higher rate, that is one thing. A sad thing, but not really my business.

If it were just additionally that these non-vaccinated folks were overcrowding emergency rooms and taking critical care beds from vaccinated folks with other conditions (my father-in-law, for example could not get into a hospital in Buffalo last weekend to get a blockage treated, and with only one kidney, it could have ended up killing him), then that would be bordering on a national emergency, but still, as a Naval veteran I can see the argument that they should have the choice to not get the shot.

But now, these large numbers of unvaccinated folks are becoming petri dishes for newer and even more resistant variants of Covid. The Delta is only the beginning. You want to lose more sleep at night? Read up on the Mu variant, which is apparently able to evade the immunity that people with the vaccine have. Granted, Mu did not develop here in the US, but the point is that more people who are unvaccinated means more potential spots for viral mutations, which means the virus will become even deadlier and harder to stop.

THAT is why we should all care, before this thing mutates into Captain Trips, and 99.9% of us are gone.

This, to me, makes the protests of a few football players moot.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Everyone is frustrated, everyone is sick of the pandemic. It’s seemingly invaded every aspect of life. It would be nice to not talk about with the Colts, but they are one of the lowest vaxed teams. It’s going to affect them. Hopefully we don’t lose games bc of it.

I have stayed out of this fray until now but cannot help but weigh in as this goes to the smack talk area or to hell or wherever.

I work in a contract reserach organization and currently have a team dedicted to Pfizer Covid Lightspeed studies, among other pharma/biotech/research clients. I have folks on Janssen, AZ and Curevac among others.

As for jabs - I was stuck with AZ (not my choice in Spain) and as a 3rd party participant, I stand behind the Pfizer product 100% and have confidence in the others though I am more in tune with the data from Pfizer. As mentioned, I see the data and half the crap I have seen on this board and threads are simply mind boggling. Gawd help us but I promise you the pharma companies are not involved with Bill Gates and controlling us with mind altering nanobots and most of the other bizarre shit I have been reading on the interwebs.

I am also a Navy 20 year vet as an HMC and stand behind the need and also get the my choice stuff. Bottom line, look at the real facts and not the internet conspriacy carp. Then look at the numbers now in ICU and check who is vaccinated or not.... Jeebus Key-Rist on a crutch !!!

Soapbox now stored and venting done.

this Stfu column is the only thing active on this site. Guess that means nobody wants to Stfu about this. Wentz had a long diatribe today about why he isn't vaccinated. Said nothing except that it is personal and an ongoing decision. Apparently he has thought a lot about it. Not sure what to make of what he said but do appreciate his willingness to be peppered with questions. He knew it wouldn't be pleasant.

I posted the IndyStar article about the team and covid because it was about the impact on the team if several players were to be unavailable due to covid protocols.

Should we pretend this pandemic is not having an impact on sports?

I don't care if comments are about this, but when people start flaming people who have differing opinions, then I draw the line and lose respect for those people. They dig their heels in and refuse to listen to the other side at all. Civility has gone out the window since about 2000. I am tired of it. As Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along?"

AGAIN!!!! I don't care if you talk about it but if every thread turns into this then it ruins the thread. So go to general topics and discuss away Just like Politics.

Stop highjacking threads for this BS

like others have said, this is a football issue. the colts should just make it mandatory and be done with it.


the players can quit if they don't want the vaccine.

nflpa

damn unions

There is talk that Cam Newton got cut because he would not get vaccinated.

IU won their law suit to require students to be vaccinated, those kids can go somewhere else. That is true of an athlete, he is now free to go a team that wants him.

The nflpa can complain, but companies can require vaccinations. You want to play a game in England, there are health requirements to enter the country. You going to leave a starter behind of resistance to a vaccine? There is a long list of shots and its been a long list before this pandemic

We are now over 80% vaccinated as a team.

I would not be surprised if that played a role, but that fact he sucks probably had more to do with it.

Great. Are the team captains over 50% now (Wentz, Nelson, and Leonard are 3 of the 6)?

If I was a player potentially on the bubble. I would get vaccinated.wouldn’t want to give them an excuse to cut me.

Thank God you don’t make the decisions. Trust in Ballard.

For sure, any bubble player damn well better.

So liberals want to stop the pandemic and conservatives want to stop the conversation.

Sounds about right.

why does spike always have to delete his posts?

Because it is still America and I can do whatever the fuck I want to do.

Maybe you need a designated poster. Friends dont allow friends to post drunk.

If you had friends you would have zero post.

I have an opening, send me a pm and I will send you a resume
