As training camps open, the NFL is continuing to crystalize their position: you are free to choose whether or not to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, but doing so will come to you at a disadvantage; and your team as well.
The league issued a memo earlier today which made it clear that teams may be subject to forfeiture of games this season if a game must be postponed due to an outbreak among unvaccinated players if it cannot be rescheduled within an 18-game schedule. This is unlikely to come up, but it’s another way of incentivizing as many people in the league as possible to get vaccinated.
