Rick Dennison is 63 years old. There is no universe in which getting vaccinated for Covid is riskier for him than actually catching Covid would be. Yet he's giving up a high-six-figure job because he won't get vaxxed. I'm sorry - that is absolutely nuts.

1. I Expect Tucker Will Get The Exclusive Interview Tonight

I'll be greatly disappointed if this isn't used as a Cancel Culture rallying cry, complaining about how vaccinations are being forced upon us. So Un-American.

2. These anti-vaxxer nutjobs need their own country.

We can call it Infectionstan or Dumbfuckistan or Covidiotstan...I don't care. Lock them all in and let it shake itself out.

4. Must be an island with no way to exit. nt

20. Nah, they need to be sealed in a dome a la the Simpsons Movie or Under The Dome.

If we're going to put them all on an island it would cause the virus to mutate into a super version. They need to be sealed off so they can't infect anyone else.

5. Is Krakatoa available to be annexed as a country?

3. Get vaxxed or get sacked.

Seems like a good message to send. There have already been several outbreaks throughout sports. The Yankees recently had 6 players test positive, 5 of them were vaxxed but reportedly the only one with symptoms is the unvaxxed one.

6. He's taking his ball and running home.

[CentralMass]

8. Good.

9. It's a cult!

Irrational and insane.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. He's An Idiot!

There are around 300 such jobs IN THE WORLD & he pukes it away.
Moron!

11. This firing was all about the dough and an NFL decision

The NFL has informed teams that if there's a Covid outbreak and a game has to be canceled, the team where the outbreak occurred not only forfeits the game, they pay the other team for their lost money, including player salaries.

12. His body, his choice. Their team, their choice.

14. He was a shitty linebacker

[onecaliberal]

15. That should be a customary response from all business everywhere.

[ShazzieB]

24. YES!!!

A thousand times yes!!!!!!

[Marcuse]

16. Make sure he keeps his social distance on the unenjoyment line.

[AllyCat]

17. Great. These people can go live in their basements if they are not going to do the right thing.

[Warpy]

18. Cue screeching about Nazis in 5...4...3

Looks like more nuts are going to have to roll down to Florida to get their full measure of freedumb.

I had the damned disease, what they're calling a mild case. I can't understand why anybody would risk even that.

[TNNurse]

19. Do I care what happens to this man??? NO, I do not.

[Owl]

22. Good! Glad to hear.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Liability

Companies know what to do.
