Another Covid issue is the international games. The teams playing outside the US are going to have to have their ducks in a row, and players will have to be vaccinated to travel to England. My mom just got told she couldn't get on a plane to come back to the US because she needed an updated test result. ( she is vaccinated and was only in Germany for 3 weeks)
What a mess that could be.
I guess the NFL could get adapted protocols (like allowed to go in and out of the UK but full bubble style no going out during the trip), the same way Japan adapted the rules for athletes and people working for the Olympics.

Really surprised nobody here is discussing Ron's latest response to the vaccine deniers on this squad.
It's from the latest MMQB, where you can read a big interview with coach here:

If you are an NFL you just have to get vaccinated. Period.

I'm not sure what a "vaccine denier" is, but I think he's referring to individuals who are disseminating or circulating false or uncorroborated information about the vaccine. I don't think he's referring to individuals who are hesitant to get it, those who do not want to get it, or those who are advised not to get it - for various reasons.

You're putting way too much analysis into something I didn't put that much thought into.
You're real quick to defend those with legitimate concerns about the vaccine, when in reality we both know he's referring to those who get their news from entertainment companies. The ones who lead every statement on tv with "I'm not a doctor and have no credentials, but the vaccine seems very suspect to me." The ones who trust their friends on social media, but not their personal doctors. Is that more concise?

That wasn't really analysis. I just wasn't sure what you meant by vaccine denier, and thought you might be pointing the finger at the wrong set of people. You're right though, I am willing to "defend" those with legitimate concerns about the vaccine; but I'm equally willing to defend those with legitimate concerns about others not getting the vaccine. I actually respect both decisions.

Falcons are 1st team to 100%. Impressive team effort.
I'm still for people making their own choices, but that being said, their season will be easier than every other team, unless other teams get there too.

Their (the Falcons) players can still contract Covid.

Ok. I didn't say they couldn't.
