Figured this could use its own thread.

To each their own. He doesn't have to retire though, the biggest threat is getting covid and potentially losing a game and a check.

The biggest threat to the team is him getting it and infecting his teammates, which is now an automatic forfeit. There are no rescheduled games due to covid outbreaks this year.

All talk. 70+ million dollars at stake. He will not retire. Nothing to see here.


This is like believing Rodgers will not play at all in 2021.

Perhaps a few may take advice from a fellow NFLer.

DOCTOR Laurent Duvernay-Tardif took last season off to help treat patients with Covid near Montreal.

This guy is big stupid. Way to hurt the team and community, Hop. I won't be watching what is sure to be a s-show of a season.

[slanidrac16]

Whatever.

 

[SoonerLou]

At least we have Isabella.

 

[Praxis]

He's smarter than everyone. No use trying to do that.

 

[jmt]

Deandre Hopkins is a fool.

 

[tnmike]

If he doesn't want to play then **** on him. The world will keep on turning

 

[Mainstreet]

Probably a repeat but relevant.


By Jeremy Cluff Arizona Republic:

During a video conference call with Arizona reporters last month, Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury was asked if he knew how many Arizona players and coaches had been vaccinated for the virus. He said he didn’t know the numbers, but offered this response:

“They have been overly-educated, if that is possible, on the vaccine. (Head athletic trainer) Tom Reed and our medical staff has done a tremendous job of making sure these guys feel confident and comfortable if they were to receive the vaccine.”

Ugh. Such lame news from so many angles.

Its a personal decision, drives me nuts people will come at him for this…

And as with all "personal" decisions that affect others there are consequences.

Companies have a right to set health and safety standards that affect employees and customers.

Saw a sign in front of a restaurant that read:

No shirt, no shoes... no jab = no service!

 

[Stout]

Its a personal decision, drives me nuts people will come at him for this…

Smoking is a personal decision too. If you want to smoke and kill yourself, fine, just don't do it around me. If you want to get Covid, fine, don't come around me.

If you are "young and healthy enough" to survive Covid without the vaccine, you are healthy enough to get the vaccine and survive any side effects while also protecting yourself and everyone else. This is all childish.
