And I think you are missing his point. As most of you on here are. Or maybe I'm wrong.

What he is saying is that the NFL doesn't give a rats ass if someone is vaccinated. They are putting on a show That is whey the rules keep changing. They are more concerned with their TV contracts than the idea of not spreading the virus

Correct me if I'm wrong Chaos

He was asked to clarify his take and he simply added another group to complain about - the fans. He didn’t clarify if he thought the rules were too strict or too loose. He simply complained. As has been pointed out, the rules were designed to encourage vaccinations AND get agreement with the NFLPA. The idea the NFL cares about their billion dollar contracts is not exactly a hot take or enlightening in anyway. Individual players are fairly low risk due to their demographic. And yes, any individual player is also largely disposable to the NFL anyway. That is and has been obvious for all kinds of issues over the years. It also is in no way unique to the NFL. So what is the point of the rant? The NFL did the single biggest thing they could do for their players, their business, and their communities. The vaccination rate of NFL players is much higher than the general population. That wasn’t due to anything other than NFL policy. So I’ll ask again - what the hell is the complaint?

I get everything you are saying. I do.

So the CDC just lowered the isolation period to 5 days from 10. The NFL is suppose to jump on that as of tomorrow.

Here is the tricky part. It says only 5 days isolation and then 5 days of wearing a mask. So how will this work for the NFL? NBA? etc. Are the players going to wear a mask for 5 days after isolation OR are they just going to ignore that part and get away without wearing it so we have players on the field?

They will. They are worried about money, not peoples health.
