Some people are uncomfortable having a real conversation about something that has killed Millions of people. Many of those people were quiet here in Packerland, up until Covid changed the fortune of the Packers. We saw some talk when Davante had to sit out, but people lost their **** when Aaron Fricking Rodgers gets it.

So are we going to dance around the subject of what the NFL does, if anything, with the Covogers Gate?

Yes and Trump won the election!

You’re finally right about something. Congrats.

I agree. It is mind-blowing. Take out all of the politics for a moment. No matter your position on vaccines, it's obviously a huge competitive advantage to be vaccinated due to the NFL rules alone. Never mind that you're less likely to get COVID if you're vaccinated. I suppose it's good that Rodgers got COVID now instead of during the playoffs, but not getting vaccinated is still a terrible decision on his end IMHO.

This is a sports board not a general society forum. We can discuss the parts of society that infringe on the sports world. The discussion had degenerated into a general society discussion. The admin @Shaggy wants us to shy away from that direction.

Nope. As long as it remains relevant to the NFL's investigation and response it is fair point. I'd rather it stay in its own thread though.

I read everything up to the post I responded to. In one straight run. It was like watching an unmoderated debate of the View and the Five with an occasional comment by Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon.

That should about cover it.

This is why the majority of the world views the media in a very negative way.

What a completely ridiculous article.

I said that is enough off topic Covid discussion. The Covid protocol has AR12 out about 10 days and the NFL is investigating why he acted (and the team let him) as if he had the jab. NFL takes rules violations seriously if you aren't Tom Brady. AR will be an example of "we treat all players the same even though we don't."

I was responding to an article that was posted. If junk like that article is posted, I certainly have the right to respond. The NFL rules are absurd and not based on any logical science.

Of course it did. Just as when we have discussed CTE, kneeling for the anthem, BLM, etc. I just find it comical as well as quite annoying, that when discussions veer into the "uncomfortable" range for you and a few others when it comes to something like Covid, you want to censor, put a bubble over the discussion and shut it down. If people are offended by the discussion, which for the most part was rather civil, given the subject matter, then don't go back to the thread. One of the mods posted a nice post discussing the loss of a friends wife due to covid. I didn't have a problem reading that, it brings reality into a situation that some think is fantasy.

Yes this is a sports Forum, but if all you want to discuss is Football in a bubble, good luck.

sadly, this same thing happens on many sports forums. people come here to converse. at least that's why i come here. i've been going through a very challenging time in my life and i have almost zero opportunity to converse with live humans. places like this are my one chance to do so. i got booted from another sports forum because i said positive things about aaron rodgers. i was happy to find this place (with the help of a friend) where people are allowed to speak their minds. i just want to say thank you to whoever it was that let me through the door.

You linked to project veritas...you were the king junk poster the moment that happened, no need to feel threatened.

We have a general Covid thread in the opt in area of the board. Feel free to use it.

We would never know since Adams was vaccinated and is out with Covid. I mean what are the chances that these athletes(and politicians) who are vaccinated still catching the virus? To say he should have gotten it is now a moot point. This vaccine is not 100% effective. I know the argument is but this vaccine is preventing hospitalizations...yes, to those with underlining conditions. Those without the vaccine are also asymptomatic. So again where do we draw that line about mandates?

Sorry to hear about your challenging times, but happy to read that you have found some solace through this forum.

Sports can be fun to chat about, but ignoring some of the social issues that intertwine with the Sport, just because it is a controversial topic and makes some uncomfortable, reminds me of what you said about getting booted out of another Forum because you talked positive about Rodgers.

Glad you found your way here and hope you enjoy the sometimes bumpy, but fun ride.

i got booted from another sports forum because i said positive things about aaron rodgers.

So Gimpy gave you the boot? Well played! I left the shemp-show over there years ago when it became obvious the moderator had vendettas for anyone who didn't subscribe to his view of Aaron Rodgers.

... it's obviously a huge competitive advantage to be vaccinated due to the NFL rules alone. Never mind that you're less likely to get COVID if you're vaccinated.

Agree and I would classify being vaccinated as eliminating a possible distraction. Up to now I've never questioned Rodgers dedication but this is a head-scratcher to me because he knowing took a risk that he could miss games and possibly have lingering effects from covid that could degrade his performance going forward.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

We have a general Covid thread in the opt in area of the board. Feel free to use it.

Thanks, I have and will continue to. However, Covid has made an obvious impact on The Green Bay Packers, which I believe is what this forum is about. So if you think it won't be discussed in a variety of ways in various other threads, just because someone created a thread dedicated to it, you might as well start closing all those threads too.

Many top level athletes from various sports have had horrible effects after taking the vaccine. Example shown below. With cases like these, how in the world can anyone be mad at someone else for making the personal choice to not get it?

Rodgers' legacy might have been able to survive the past offseason's drama, but this morning it's been flushed down the toilet. Not even Stephen A Smith can defend the "baaaad man" anymore.

With treatment that generally goes away wihin 6 months. Quite rare by the way.

Yes that Vaccine is just wiping out so many top level athletes, that you had to find a guy on Twitter that holds his breath as a sport and claims the Vaccine is at fault for his performance drop. That proves your point?

You have now convinced me that A-Rod held up the long list of the 5 million+ people who have died from Covid, compared it to the scrap of paper containing the list of people who's death were attributed solely to the vaccine and said "Hell yes, I'm going with the short list!"

Now go find that fun Meme you read on Twitter that says 150,000 people have died from the vaccine!

• Cases of myocarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)external icon have occurred:
  • After mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), especially in male adolescents and young adults,
  • More often after the second dose
  • Usually within several days after vaccination
• Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis who received care responded well to medicine and rest and felt better quickly.
• Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve. Those who have been diagnosed with myocarditis should consult with their cardiologist (heart doctor) about return to exercise or sports.
