Anti-vax NFL players willing to put their immunocompromised coach at risk to own the libs.

I'm so unbelievably tired of these selfish assholes.

Ron Rivera “beyond frustrated” that so many Washington players remain unvaccinated

Washington coach Ron Rivera has attempted this offseason to educate his players about vaccinations, but the message hasn’t gotten through to many of them. And Rivera isn’t happy about it.

Rivera, who battled cancer last year and has taken extra precautions to avoid getting infected with COVID-19, said it bothers him that almost half of his players still haven’t gotten the vaccine.

“I’m truly frustrated. I’m beyond frustrated. Part of the reason I walk in with a mask on is I’m immune-deficient,” Rivera said, via Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post. “I just hope that our guys can understand that.”

Rivera is right to be frustrated. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and are the only way out of the pandemic that has ruled our lives for nearly a year and a half.

1. Selfish, stupid jackasses.

[patphil]

2. Yes, they sure are.

[Rebl2]

3. And

If any of them get sick from Covid, the team is forced to sit out the game and loses pay for everyone on the team. Isn’t that what the nfl said a few days ago?

[Treefrog]

4. You think these players are all republicans?

Seriously?

I’d be surprised if many of them even vote.

5. Stupid meatheads.

6. Big Tough Football Players Afraid Of A Little Needle? Pathetic! nt

9. They have no problem getting shot up with much worse

to mask the pain so they can play, or to help them grow larger to be more menacing. A lot of the white players are rural guys not unlike the ones I went to high school with. There are some right wingers in the NFL more than you might think.

13. Most of the NFL may be from rural towns, as you say, but not what we consider MAGA types.

Come on now.

7. Here's a taste of the deep thoughts on this matter from one such player:

Montez Sweat said, while discussing why he wasn't vaccinated:

"I'm not a fan of it," Sweat said. "I probably won't get vaccinated until we get more facts and that type of stuff, but I'm not a fan of it at all. I haven't caught COVID yet, so I don't see me treating COVID until I actually get COVID."



So...... Yeah. That what they're dealing with. Guys like this genius.

10. Did He Play Games With No Helmet Or Something? nt

[Treefrog]

12. But no comments about these asshats being MAGA morons.

Fascinating.
