Rick Dennison refuses the vaccine and is "fired" or "quits"

The NFL ain’t playing around. They don’t want any more disruption to their business.

I think they assume people will get vaccinated if they play hardball. It seems a little heavy-handed to me, but understand they don’t want to have to cancel games.
 
you want the math...

cancelled games equals none of this:

Doubt they will draw huge crowds if all the players and coaches get fired...You do that math.
 
Wait until the NFL finds out vaccinated players can still get COVID

Do they cancel games when a player or players get the flu?
 
The NFLPA is easily the shittiest union in professional sports. DeMaurice Smith is a lackey for the league office and I can't remember one meaningful concession the NFL has made while they trample on his members. I mention this because the NFL coaches don't have their own union, but the do have a coaches association that is guided by the NFLPA. That being said, the coaches are screwed. They will acquiesce or they will be unemployed.
 
Releasing someone who isn't vaccinated yet let criminals stay on the roster.

Makes sense.


You fail to understand the mentality of a football player. You are pretty much committing felonious assault on every play. Sometimes this attitude spills over into real life.

In any event, players who commit serious crimes are punished and even released regularly.
 
The NFL is a private employer. Unless there is some collective agreement otherwise they can do this.

Optically, it makes no damn sense that a coach can be let go for this, but not a player. I think I get why, but it doesn’t look right in that regard.

Maybe coaches should unionize….
