Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley, in a challenge to the National Football League's new Covid-19 training camp and preseason protocols, tweeted that he'd rather retire than get a vaccine.
"Everyone -- Hi, I'm Cole Beasley and I'm not vaccinated!," he wrote in a post Friday that he called a "Public Service Announcement."

"I will be outside doing what I do," Beasley added. "I'll be out in the public. If your scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period. I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living."

The defiant tweet comes on the same week the NFL sent teams a memo highlighting different protocols for vaccinated and unvaccinated.

comment: How does one deal with this total stupidity?..

My guess is these 4 sentences (paragraph 3)

"I will be outside doing what I do," Beasley added. "I'll be out in the public. If your scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period. I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living."

1. I know I'm gonna hate myself for asking.... but here it goes. How does

getting the vaccine get in the way of "living"? I'll just wait here among all these crickets.........

6. Fine, retire then

If you want to be an idiot don't expect me to show any sympathy.

[ShazzieB]

7. Gee, thanks, Cole Beasley.

Just think, all this time, I thought I'd been actually living since I got vaccinated. I would never have guessed that I'm not. Thanks so much for, err, clearing that up.

10. "I'd rather die actually living"

is everyone sure this ass clown knows how vaccines work?

[MontanaMama]

11. Bye Felicia.

Cole doesn’t get that getting vaccinated is the way we all actually get to live.

[Maraya1969]

12. What a little wuss. Instead of bein grateful for making so much money playing a game

he has to make a huge deal out of getting a little shot.

Maybe he's afraid of the needle.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. I'd rather he contracted COVID 1 day after he loses his insurance,

and at least 10 days after he's had any contact with any vulnerable or unvaccinated persons.

How's that for casting pennies into the fountain?

[ChubbyStar]

17. Cast those pennies

I stood up and cheered your post. TOUCHDOWN for Maru Kitteh.

[roamer65]

14. Then retire, fuckwad.

[3catwoman3]

15. Maybe he's been hit in the head...

...too many times?

[bamagal62]

16. Cole who?

18. Hey anti-vaxxers: your choice is the wrong one!

[twin_ghost]

19. Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out!

20. He's another idiot Christaliban.

Totally brainwashed.

21. Cole Beasley has to be one of the most overpaid players in the NFL

The Bills can cut him today and save something like 11 million against the salary cap over the next two seasons. They shouldn't hesitate to cut this dead weight from the team. It makes sense from a business and performance perspective.....you shouldn't be spending 15 million over the next two seasons on this average clown.

[-misanthroptimist]

22. Yeah, Cole, because once you get vaccinated your life is over totally.

WTF, is he a complete moron?

[whistler162]

23. My nephew who is also a athlete and

like this ?athlete? scared of needles got his Covid vaccine.

24. "Here's your watch, there's the door. Good-bye and good luck, yadda, yadda, yadda."

25. Dying in a bed, gasping for air is "actually living"?

Or dying while heavily sedated, hooked up to a ventilator is "actually living"?

Does the fool think he's going to be out fishing one day, drinking beer and enjoying life, and then simply drop dead from Covid-19 while casting his line, mid-sentence while telling a joke?

26. The first evidence of trauma induced brain damage. I'm not saying it's

CTE but it's CTE.*


https://www.bu.edu/cte/about/frequently-asked-questions/

The repeated brain trauma triggers progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, including the build-up of an abnormal protein called tau. These changes in the brain can begin months, years, or even decades after the last brain trauma or end of active athletic involvement. The brain degeneration is associated with common symptoms of CTE including memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, suicidality, parkinsonism, and eventually progressive dementia.

*chronic traumatic encephalopathy and it's an educated guess but I wouldn't be surprised

27. Good, let him be the stone cold loser that he's revealed himself to be.

Hoping for karma for these asses.

28. I hope this over-muscled snowflake's wishes come true. And damn soon. (nt)

29. editing out my post.

I have no idea if this athlete has taken steroids, cortisone, stem cells, anything to improve performance or hasten recovery from injury. Maybe he is a true purist.

Maybe.

30. Can't expect much from a slot receiver

He's paid to take shots to the head.
