The National Football League will punish teams if their unvaccinated players cause a game to be canceled, according to a league edict issued Thursday.
“If a game is cancelled/postponed because a club cannot play due to a Covid spike among or resulting from its non-vaccinated players/staff, then the burden of the cancellation or delay will fall on the club experiencing the Covid infection,” the memo stated, according to NFL.com .
The memo took a very different tone regarding the way teams will be treated if a team is unable to play because of infections among players who are vaccinated .
“We will seek to minimize the burden on the opposing club or clubs. If a club cannot play due to a Covid spike in vaccinated individuals, we will attempt to minimize the competitive and economic burden on both participating teams,” the memo said.
The memo caused a flurry of reactions. Good question being asked here. Will NFL demand forfeits if players test positive for covid after getting the vaccine? My opinion: No league should be testing for covid any more at all. https://t.co/KpIW6J6mtV — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) July 22, 2021 The NFL is pretending vaccinated people don’t spread or inherit Covid while the unvaccinated, do. That’s a bold face lie and should be covered as such. https://t.co/JkBhtLW3A3 — Gary Sheffield Jr. (@GarysheffieldJr) July 22, 2021 DeAndre Hopkins deleted a tweet “questioning [his] future” in the NFL after the league announced any team with a COVID outbreak due to unvaccinated players could result in a forfeit pic.twitter.com/PsOeCWQy4u — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) July 22, 2021 But from Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley , who had a lot to say about the NFL’s vaccination rules on Tuesday and sounded off on the topic last month, there was not a peep about the memo as of Thursday afternoon. That’s all I’ve been saying. I’m not pushing anyone to do anything. Do what you want. Im testing every day. Once my test comes back negative my day will be just like those who are vaxxed. No restrictions. Rules are literally just to push everyone to do what they […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
