As a Bills fan -
Beasley arguably has been the most vocal anti-vaccine proponent among NFL players, saying on social media last summer that he would rather retire than be forced to get vaccinated and wanted to live his life his way.
Beasley has said he is not pro or anti-vaccine but is "pro choice" to allow each person to make an individual decision.
He remains unvaccinated, according to the NFL Network. He will need to quarantine for 10 days under NFL protocols, meaning he will miss Sunday's game in Foxborough, Mass.

(27,682 posts)Well never get over this with attitudes like this guy and millions of others who refuse to do the very least to combat this virus for all Of us. Im also tapped out for compassion or sympathy of any kind for these people who have turned their back on the rest of us. If they dont care that their lungs turn to concrete or amputations or longer term problems we dont even know about yet are not enough to get vaxxed..I dont give a rats a$$ about them. Not sorry

(77,268 posts)IIRC, Rodgers already had COVID in early November. He missed a game because of it & his team got killed.
He had symptoms, but just flu like. Took him about a week to fully recover.
Like you, I'm glad it was Beasley. I hope he gets dreadfully ill.
Maybe a viral smack upside the head is what he needs.

(5,072 posts)Because hes been such a stupid asshole about this. I dont want him to die or anything but the worst thing that could happen for an assclown such as he is if he doesnt suffer at least a little. He'll just blow off vaccines as unnecessary otherwise.
What a terrible thing to think. I really hate what these people have done to me.
