Arizona Cardinals player Deandre Hopkins, one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, tweeted Thursday that he might leave the National Football League over new rules that teams could be forced to forfeit games if they have a COVID-19 outbreak involving unvaccinated players. “Never thought I would say this, But being put in a position to hurt my team because I don’t want to partake in the vaccine is making me question my future in the @NFL,” he wrote. Earlier in the day, the NFL informed franchise owners that teams may have to forfeit games if outbreaks among unvaccinated players caused them to be cancelled. Teams that forfeit in such a way would be responsible for the other team’s financial loss as well as their own and could face discipline from the league.

4. He Doesn't Want To Hurt His Team In The Standings

But he'd be more than happy to hurt his teammates or the public in general, by not getting vaccinated.

9. Good! Nt

10. That's the whole point.

If you don't want to get vaccinated, you don't get to participate in things that put others at risk. Period.

11. I Thought Of Him As More Thoughtful

But, this is just dumb!
He has lots more money to make & he's providing a comfortable life for his blind mom.
To pass on furthering the level of comfort for his mom by making MILLIONS, plural, of dollars per year is stupid.

12. Give up that good money over a non issue.

Good riddance.
