    Personally don’t care enough to read the rules.... just stating a fact.

    If the rules are as you say, team penalties for an unvaccinated player infecting enough of the team causing a forfeiture but not if a vaccinated player infects the team......asinine is a good description.

    You see belichik walking back his statements... over the weekend?


    That is what happens when you have policy which is not based on data and logic.

    Given the current data... The NFL has no business treating those with natural immunity... like they are more risky than those who have never been infected but vaxxed.

    Belichik only walked back his comments about dropping unvaccinated players since the anti-vaxxers came after him. He dropped his other comments about vaccinated versus unvaccinated players having Covid since the NFL told him he was wrong -- unvaccinated players represent the majority of NFL Covid cases.

    You should note that large percentage of NFL players who were dropped before the season are unvaccinated. NFL teams do not want to put up with the risks of having unvaccinated players on their teams.

    what?


    When I saw the replay, he did not give a number or a ratio for vaccinated vs non vaccinated... did he ever give the ratio?

    If not... he could not be wrong.. could he.

    Let's read the article statement... I never stated anywhere he provided number. The NFL corrected Belichick on his factual wrong statement.

    "New England coach appeared to suggest during his press conference Wednesday that vaccinated players were as at risk of testing positive for the coronavirus as unvaccinated — in hammering away any notion he cut Newton because the veteran quarterback was unvaccinated and thus more prone to missing time because of NFL protocols. The league’s chief medical officer, when asked about Belichick’s claims, reinforced that players (and people) who are unvaccinated are testing positive more often than the vaccinated."

    You appear to have reading comprehension problems -- let's try it again.

    I told you I saw him say he did not know the numbers... moron.

    I never saw him say the vaccinated get infected at the same rate as the unvaccinated...
    so how could he be wrong...
    unless you have him saying that?
