That's because the virus is a political issue. Thank your Government.

It was inevitable I guess. This virus has polarized the entire planet, and the politics of it (thanks mostly to our fearless leaders) has found its way into every entity, including our beloved sports. The divisiveness in this country is extraordinary, and not just due to the virus.

I don’t think anyone can disagree… even the Va health dept lady who called me today to check on me and get info about my recent covid positive test had to say politics is the main hurdle in the war against this ..I am feeling a little better today and I believe at some point down the road I will get vaccinated.. now I’ve got immunity for a while .. this new delta strain is highly contagious.. it’s my fault I caught it .. peace

Listening to Ron go off about the team low vaccination rates is not good folks. We are sitting at what 60%?

We should be really worried about the team being impacted by this…I think it’s very possible we could forfeit a game.

I really think RR thought the team would do it to help protect him and everyone on the team. IMO he's disappointed that guys aren't being team players about something so simple and easy.

Why is it so "simple and easy?" It's their bodies, and it's their right if they choose to be reluctant, as well as it's the right for people who choose to get vaccinated.

I understand that there are NFL players who probably have health conditions that may be affected by the vaccine (i.e. Sweat with his heart issue). But it is a bit hard for me to take serious someone who just doesn't want to get vaccinated without any apparent reason, when they are also making a business decision to play in a sport that has been shown to carry a lot of health risks in the long term.

Also, NFL players always make decisions on their health with a business aspect in mind (i.e. treatment for injury, etc., etc.). So this is not something new for them; however, what is different is that their decision vastly affects others.

Everyone has a choice, regardless whether you consider it a bit hard for you take seriously.

Once again, there's empirical evidence (as Schneed also stated) that there could be reactions to the vaccination, whether in the short or long-term, as well as many people wondering what they're taking or getting via the vaccination (ie, the Tuskegee Experiment and 1976 Swine Flu).

Anyways ....

Washington Nationals All-Star shortstop Trea Turner has tested positive for COVID-19, leading him to exit in the first inning of the team's eventual 6-4 win against the Phillies in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

Turner was pulled after scoring on Josh Bell's home run in the top of the first. Gerardo Parra replaced him in the lineup.

"I found out right after he scored,'' manager Dave Martinez said. "I had to pull him right out of the game. He's got to get isolated right away. Now, he'll get tested and from there we'll see what happens.''

The timeline for Turner's positive result suggests his test was taken Monday.

You've been trained well.

Personally attack and shame anyone who dares to question the Government.



I just listened to a 45-year HVAC engineer explain with REAL SCIENTIFIC FACTS how wearing a mask (aka filter) on your face is dangerous and harmful, especially to children who aren't exactly the best at hygiene.

But Nancy Pelosi calls it "science" as she calls people morons and threatens to arrest them for not wearing masks around her...while she doesn't wear a mask.

Id vote to just lock this thread up.

This is turning into brother on brother. I love reading Chiefs football thoughts and hopefully we are still cool.
