    Please stop testing athletes for Covid

    If someone is actually sick, then test, but other than that, play ball. It's obvious we can't control the spread no matter what we do, so stop even trying.

    Completely ridiculous.

    If you're vaccinated and asymptomatic, you shouldn't have to be tested.

    Its called lawsuits. All it takes is for one fan to get sick from a team member then every ambulance chaser in the country will be there.

    It's madness. Can't believe they just canceled the Tenn vs Memphis basketball game 1 hour before the tip. When are we going to accept that we have to live with this virus?

    Don't even worry about being vaxed if you're asymptomatic. Hell, it seems like everybody getting it now is vaxed. I was. Sean Payton is vaxed and just tested positive a second time.

    The corrupt thumbs their noses at our Constitution, and are turning this country into a herd of sheep. The Greatest Generation would be disgusted and ashamed of us, my dad included.

    When we allow the government to break the law during times of emergency, they?ll happily create emergencies to break the law.

    Looks like the NFL agrees:

    Agree but this has never been about science or common sense. It is about control for those in charge.

    This is one area that gives hope to ending the insanity but so many are on board with it who knows.

    My personal favorite part of this whole thing is deciding that healthcare workers are heros and then firing a bunch of them a year later for not the vaccine.

    Agree, except I'm being serious instead of sarcastic. Who wants to go to a hospital and be treated by or attended to by someone who doesn't believe in vaccines? What other "alternative" beliefs might they have, and how would it affect their approach to work?

    True. Winston Churchill famously once said, ?Never let a good crises go to waste?.
    This is a little off subject, but it is worth telling. Unless you?ve really studied history, you may not know he actually lived it. There is a good book that exposes the real Churchill & how he selfishly sacrificed innocent lives of men, women, and children, including Americans. It is ?Dead Wake: The Last Crossing Of The Lusitania?, by Erik Larson. I highly recommend it.

    So if you aren't for Covid vaccines, you're anti- all vaccines?

    10000% truth and I'm vaccinated.

    Because it?s about compliance. Do what you?re told. Don?t ask about the numbers. Don?t seek justification. Don?t think, just do what you?re told.
    It is ironic that they?re no longer considered heroes if they stand up against a government pushing/forcing something on its people that they see as wrong. Seems like that is an essential hero quality.

    I didn't mean to imply that per se, but probably? Seems very silly (or nakedly political) to single out the COVID vaccine to be "against" but support others.

    "The numbers" are freely available to anyone who wants them from all kinds of sources (just Google and you'll see so many), and there are thousands of resources out there who will happily answer any question you have. I really don't know what more can be done to give out information about it.
