    If they don't want a vaccine they don't get a free ride. They have the freedom of choice.

    You idiots are useless.

    I wasn’t asking your opinions. I know UW has a policy that students need to get vaccinated or file an exemption. Wondering if it’s the same for players. I haven’t read anything in it.

    Little bit of a paradox here. Students can’t be on campus without being vax and last I checked football players are somewhat students so if a football player doesn’t wanna get the needle poke is he not allowed on campus and no longer a student????

    In all honesty the Pac-12 should just require it so there aren’t any forfeits. The last thing this hemorrhoid of a conference needs is game cancellations or a walk on playing qb in the Pac-12 championship game.

    Students can file an exemption. Which includes “philosophical reasons”

    Or you know. Every scientific study and the actual vaccine efficacy and safety data (and not jpgs from Facebook). Who the fuck watches cable news of any kind? Cool burn though. Bet you really thought you had something there.

    For fucks sake. I asked about UW or pac12 policy you dumbfuck. Not a sermon on whatever you’re blathering about.

    I thought I really had something…like you thought you did with the YouTube comment. Fuck off. JFC.

    I would have chinned this had it come prior to the CNN retort. With the CNN retort, you lost the high ground. Clearly you care.

    My non dickhead response; players aren’t required, but due to the extra Hoops they’ll have to jump through if not (testing/isolation/etc) id be surprised if they weren’t all >95% by Labor Day. UW is already at 90% which will be a huge competitive advantage for them if they get it to 100

    As I said elsewheres, strictly from a football standpoint, I would strongly encourage players to get vaxxed IF it meant no tracing on positive tests. Preferably no testing at all actually. That ought to be the position: players all vaxxed, no routine testing.

    In a world that made sense, even some threshold close to 100% should mean that (80%, 90%, whatever). I mean, the vaccine itself isn't even 100% effective.

    Also, I think every team should designate one backup player to be their disease vector. Have the player who draws the short straw (and is vaccine hesitant) make out with a COVID-riddled staffer a week before game day, then make sure he's out on the field blowing snot on all of the opponent's best players. The fear of this happening might get the vaccine rates up league-wide and prevent canceled games/seasons and/or result in future losses for conference opponents.

    Win/win!
