Goodell kicks the can down the road because..."NOT Patriots"

I’m starting to think the NFL or the teams are lying about their vaccination rates.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Somebody a while back, and I don't have a link handy, did a report on the fact that the NFL teams were either

1) not actually looking at vaccination cards and instead taking every player's word on it;
or
2) requiring that they show a vaccination card but not checking on whether they were FAKE cards or not, and apparently the fake ones are easy to obtain, perhaps even from player agents.

so, yeah... those 90%+ vaccinated numbers are phony.

AR is his own worst enemy.

Packers docked 2025 7th rd pick and a fine of $1.82.

AR is suspended 1 game time already served.

I don’t think so on this one. The league is in a ****ty situation right now with their backs against the wall. They want to take the focus off of the Washington emails, the Rams relocation, Watson, Ruggs, etc. Especially the emails because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that they’ll do anything to save their own hides.

Let’s remember Deflate-gate happened in the midst of the Ray Rice fiasco.

The evidence is in the open, so they really can’t cover this up, and Rodgers is such a high profile player.

Green Bay has no owner.

They’ll get “a win” with the woke crowd for taking vaccines so seriously.

I’m expecting a swift kick to the nuts.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

For example Wynn is antivax. Who else on the NEP?

 

[Bill Lee]

The league may not be able to sweep this one under the rug. The photos, videos, etc. are all out there for the public; the protocols are public info. If he was given vaxxed protocols, this may be one of the few scandals they don’t want and can’t bury.

You realize last week we were all talking about WFT/Gruden/Allen emails and Watson deals, right? This weeks it's Ruggs and Rodgers. Next week, it'll be something else. The NFL has gotten very tuned into this. They'll just soft-sell everything by saying they are investigating, and then just stand back till the next storm comes along.

Agreed. And that fine is just straight up - not $1.82 million. It'll seriously be like just $1.82. The Packers will just hand over $5 and say "keep the change."

Vaccine mandates are the lightning rod topic across the US media.

With the NFL being risk-averse to alienating a % of their un-vax fan base they will go very easy on GB and AR. I have no doubt.

I bet he takes that suspension to court and the court drawing of him looks better than Mona Lisa

Yep. If Goody goes all Spygate and Deflategate on GB and specifically AR, he'll be in another PR crisis in a number of cities and states.

...and look at all these states that love football.

These are the 10 states with the lowest vaccination rates in the country, according to the most recent data:​

1. West Virginia (49.02%)
2. Idaho (49.21%)
3. Wyoming (51.09%)
4. Mississippi (52.05%)
5. North Dakota (53.46%)
6. Indiana (53.84%)
7. Louisiana (54.61%)
8. Alabama (54.33%)
9. Tennessee (54.67%)
10. Ohio (55.92%)

Seriously. I still can't get over this.

 

[Bill Lee]

Shifting blame from AR to the team is exactly what you'd expect NJFL to do.

what in teh **** does holistically immunized even mean?

That he thought through the whole thing and decided he would trust his girlfriend and eat clay rather than trusting people who spent their entire careers studying viruses and immunology and take the jab, then decided he didn't want to deal with any blowback so he used deceptive wording to make people think he was vaccinated.

 

[Tottie]

The fact that GB has no owner is a very good point and will matter. No matter what happens don't expect a suspension though.
