Their body, their choice. Is that not how the saying goes?

I have been vaccinated, and I would highly recommend vaccination for anybody who asked me about it ...... but I agree, it is their right not to do so. I wouldn't want a can of worms opened that would force any kind of medical treatment on a person who did not want it.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, that's for sure.

Sure, it just happens to be a choice that isn't just personal. it affects others. Its a demonstrably *bad* choice.

Yeah except it is really your body your choice to infect anybody else you come in contact with, unfortunately it is then not their choice. I agree that it should not be forced on anybody but it is sad how many stupid people out there will not get the vaccine and then still do not wear masks indoors. My wife has MS and has to take a drug to knock her immune system down. She took the vaccine and then 3 weeks later got an antibody test and because of being immune deficient she has no protection. There are a lot of people out there that the vaccine might not work because of having a compromised immune system. If you choose to not get the vaccine then have the balls to still wear masks indoors!

Teams have to be careful about that, however.

Earlier this off season, Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane stated that he would absolutely release any player that was not vaccinated. He thought that if the majority of the team's players and staff were vaccinated, it would be a competitive advantage.

Well, the league was pretty quick to address those comments. They let Beane know that you cannot release a player because of vaccination status.

The NFL spoke with Bills GM Brandon Beane this week following his comments regarding releasing an unvaccinated player, per league source. A team may not release a player solely due to vaccination status.

The Players Association also made some comments shortly afterwards indicating that they would be watching teams to see if they make any such cuts.

Right now, the only victims of covid are the unvaccinated. Ron White made people laugh with, “you cant fix stupid”. Now, not so much

Yes. Covid already cost us a game and probably the division. This will be a pain next season.

I think Leonard has been outspoken about his anti-vaccination belief.
