Get the Jab, or if you get sick=no pay

Now it is heading down to the college levels, in an attempt to SHAM players into getting the jab.

If athletes won’t get vaccine, this College World Series disaster is going to keep happening

There is nothing satisfying about a baseball team’s season ending via a vague press release just after 2 a.m. on the day they were supposed to be playing Vanderbilt for a spot in the College World Series championship.

But in our still fraught world of COVID-19 and its intersection with sports, it cannot be too surprising that NC State found itself in such a horrible position Saturday, having been tested and contact traced to the point where the NCAA was forced to remove them from the tournament.

We had seen where those in close contact were quanantined while the rest were allowed to play (NHL).

This situation is particularly ominous right now, at a time when a large number of college and professional athletes are still refusing to be vaccinated, risking not just their own and other people’s health but putting teammates in position to suffer the kind of consequences that cost the Wolfpack a chance to win a national championship.

So get the jab or be shammed that you MIGHT HAVE cost your team a national championship.

Don’t want to get vaccinated? Your choice. But understand what you’re risking: A positive test that, at any time, could ensnare others and wreck historic seasons.

Is that what we are coming down to?  SHAMMING?

And it’s going to get dumber as the year goes on because, at least anecdotally, there are still a lot of football teams both at the college and NFL levels struggling to get most of their players vaccinated. In fact, according to some college administrators I’ve spoken with, there are a significant number of teams haven’t even hit 50% — which means they’re entering the season with a competitive disadvantage.

HHmmm… athletes are told and trained to ALWAYS watch what they put into their bodies.  Don’t eat this, don’t drink that, don’t take those prescriptions because they have an ingredient you cannot have, etc.

…we’re likely to see this fall as football teams with low vaccination rates see positive tests pop up, sidelining unvaccinated and perhaps some vaccinated players who did the responsible thing and still got unlucky.

Shaming, shaming, shaming.

And yes, there are plenty of examples so far of vaccinated athletes testing positive because the science tells us that vaccinated people could indeed have a small amount of the virus in their system and not get sick from it.

As do NON-jabbed people.

We’ve now seen the consequences when that choice is applied to a team concept. It’s not just the unvaccinated players that pay the price, but the vaccinated players, too.

You forget, even jaxed people can still get sick, as the jab is not 100% guarantee.

This shame tactic is disgusting.

Oh, and is this tripling down has to do with the players who refused to get the jab back then STILL refused to get the jab today?

As a professional athlete, who at all times must be aware of everything they put into their bodies, want to trust something that is still NOT an approved drug, one that still has only emergency tag on it?

The CFL has now joined this.

CFL establishes policy in case any 2021 games are cancelled due to COVID-19 issues

According to the policy, if a game can’t be played and rescheduled because of COVID-19 issues, the club suffering from the COVID-19 issues will forfeit a 1-0 loss. If both squads have COVID-19 issues, each will forfeit the game and assigned losses.

What else?

In either scenario, if a team can prove at least 85 per cent of its players under contract have been vaccinated, at least once, the players will receive their salary for the cancelled game. If that figure falls below 85 per cent, players won’t be paid.

So get the jab, or it will be YOUR FAULT (even if you are not the sick ones) for players not getting paid.

The league’s policy established other guidelines for cancellation. They include:

– The staging of the game being precluded by a decision from a government health authority.

– A team not having 36 players to dress for the game.

– A team not having individuals available to coach the offence and defense.

– A team doesn’t have a certified athletic therapist and sports medicine physician available for a contest.

And Ambrosie can cancel a game at his discretion following consultation with the CFL’s chief medical officers and the players’ association.

Sports is dropping fast.

Update:

EDMONTON — Three more Edmonton Elks players have tested positive for COVID-19, the CFL club announced Wednesday.
