CNN: NFL Teams Will Be Forced to Forfeit If Unvaccinated Players Cause COVID-19 Outbreak

EXCERPT:

FOREMAN: "Yeah, this could be huge. In football terms, this is a big time blitz. What they’re doing is putting enormous pressure on the teams to, in turn, put pressure on their players to say, 'You need to get vaccinated. That means everyone.' This comes after last week's news that at least two NFL teams had not even reached the 50% level in terms of vaccinating their players. Now, league-wide it’s at 78%, the number of players that have been vaccinated. But it’s very clear from this kind of pressure that the league wants to say to the players and to the staffs, 'Everybody get vaccinated, everybody take this seriously. We played the entire season last year, but we can’t have this happen again as a problem this year.' And by the way, if they can reschedule the game during the regular season, then apparently this won’t apply. But if they can’t, that’s when these rather draconian measures kick in."
