Last night, Washington State Cougars football coach Nick Rolovich announced he had elected not to receive one of the three free, safe, and effective COVID vaccines approved for use in the United States, and as such would not be allowed to attend Pac-12 media day next week with the other 35 participants.
What a colossal embarrassment. And I’m a lot more angry than I imagined I’d be when this news — which I expected to surface in one way or another — finally came out.
I find Rolovich’s stance to be morally bankrupt in the midst of a pandemic, but the arrogance that oozes out of his statement is what is particularly infuriating.
