Maybe you've read something different. CDC has reported at least since June/July that viral loads among vaxxed and unvaxxed are similar. Same with NEJM in December. And now Omicron appears to be the most transmissible of all variants we've seen. Vaxxed or unvaxxed, symptomatic or asymptomatic.

The point is that their (mostly vaccinated) players started testing positive in droves. Who's not contagious? More positive tests in one week than all season combined. I read 200 players since Dec 13. That's almost 10% of players. So now they aren't testing them weekly anymore.
And all that shit about not moving games this year, forfeiting, not getting paid... Well we just had three extra games Monday and Tuesday. So what does that off-season talk sound like now? Concern or coercion?
It's not just the NFL. Everyone is catching this and it's not going away.
