Rick Dennison is 63 years old. There is no universe in which getting vaccinated for Covid is riskier for him than actually catching Covid would be. Yet he's giving up a high-six-figure job because he won't get vaxxed. I'm sorry - that is absolutely nuts.

(3,767 posts)Seems like a good message to send. There have already been several outbreaks throughout sports. The Yankees recently had 6 players test positive, 5 of them were vaxxed but reportedly the only one with symptoms is the unvaxxed one.

(37,118 posts)The NFL has informed teams that if there's a Covid outbreak and a game has to be canceled, the team where the outbreak occurred not only forfeits the game, they pay the other team for their lost money, including player salaries.

I had the damned disease, what they're calling a mild case. I can't understand why anybody would risk even that.
