One of the NFL's most vocal anti-vaxxers...tests positive for COVID.

As a Bills fan -

The Buffalo Bills placed Cole Beasley on the Reserve/Covid-19 list Tuesday, a blow to the team's receiving corps in advance of this week's showdown with the New England Patriots.

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.

We’ll 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. I’m 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 don’t care that their lungs turn to concrete or amputations or longer term problems we don’t even know about yet are not enough to get vaxxed..I don’t give a rat’s a$$ about them. Not sorry

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.

Because he’s been such a stupid asshole about this. I don’t want him to die or anything but the worst thing that could happen for an assclown such as he is if he doesn’t 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.

great Wally Pipp story-who famously sat out a game for a headache only to be replaced by Lou Gehrig and never got his job back

Hats off to Buffalo today. They beat New England far worse than the score indicated.

which makes him a cult member, which means he doesn't understand or care about facts.

F-him and the team he is on.
