    Worse than the Kaepernick controversy because he wasn't even on tv or acting in any professional capacity when he chose to not wear a facemask. And half the time none of the players even bother with one on the sidelines. I bet this is purely to engrain it in your brain that masks aren't going anywhere and that those who refuse to wear one in public will face consequences. Rona is mentioned every 10mins during games as it is, but this is pretty harsh.

    I guess this livens up the employer-employee biostandards debate? Or are we supposed to devalue strippers now?

    • Dwayne Haskins was released by the Washington Football Team after it was recently revealed that he violated NFL protocol by partying without a mask
    • The team did not specifically blame Haskins's protocol violation for his release
    • Last week, Haskins was fined $40,000 and stripped of his captaincy after pictures surfaced showing him partying mask-less with women
    • Some of the women in the pictures are reported to be strippers, but the 23-year-old has claimed that the event was a birthday party for his girlfriend

    I don't think I would want my investment that probably cost me several million dollars taking unnecessary risks. I'm sure it's all spelled out in the contract they both signed.

    Dude they fired him for not wearing a mask outside the game and at the end of the season.... What a standard they are setting.

    "If you want to be mask-free, do it secretly and never post maskless photos on your social media". Mind games being played on NFL fans right now.

    This is really convoluted. He was fined by the league for not wearing a mask in public. Not sure if that is even legal. He wasn't doing anything with the team or league at the time. I'd fight it. Second, the Washington Redskins (yes, I will continue to use it as 90% of American Indians had no problem with it) made sure they didn't release him because of the mask incident. His record speaks for itself. He was a good 3rd stringer for practice purposes. On a side note, BUY's Quarterback, Zac Wilson, was demeaned by some turkey for character flaws. Yet, nothing mentioned about the character flaws of Haskins and his girlfriend. What a great gal to bring home to mama.

    Narrative-building happening before our eyes. NFL PR is slimy.

    Also, @Cougarbear, the NFL's thumbnail on YT for this news update depicts Haskins coughing into his hand. He's literally not even sick.

    I am an NFL fan, but the league's behavior during this year shows them to be sustaining the hoax.

    Nobody expects intellectual rigor from football players with rattled brains, but whoever is in charge has no clue about how unreliable the PCR tests are, and those tests are the foundation of the Covid Protocol always talked about by the sportscasters.

    Is the NFL playing along with the hoax because they have friends in the World Economic Forum, or are they all just so damn stupid they don't realize the virus is pretty much the same as the flu?

    I don't think the virus is the same as the flu. It's more like the common cold Covid viruses. However, the effects are more devastating to certain classes of people with comorbidities. The flu has killed up to 90,000 in a year but usually less these days. 350,000 is a lot. Mostly those over the age of 60. And, many coaches in the league are over the age of 60 as well as others that work in the business. So, it's nothing to minimize. However, it's also obvious that the mask thing is way overblown and since the players are all young mostly healthy, the fear is overblown. Players play with the cold and flu. They can play with the Covid as long as it's mild. I think the PAC 12 and the Big Ten and other leagues were way over blown on their responses. BYU beat UCF and their OC and DC weren't even there, along with other coaches. And, BYU played 12 games this season.

    NFL isn't pure evil but they will protect their image in a world wherein consensus is that mask-wearing is a social duty. I'm sure there are some dust-ups behind the cameras but we'll never know. NFL wants to project a socially desirable image to their demographics and they clearly have advertisers on the same page. They all think that repetitive mention of "covid" or "coronavirus" between plays and the releasing of players who disregard their messaging is working. I bet it will too.

    But on the bright side, there are entire cities not buying into it. Where I live, I can go into restaurants and go into many stores without a mask, and the most I've ever gotten is a reminder that "we prefer if you wear a mask but you are not required to do so". Some literally don't care one way or the other. NFL just does their part to present an image of the world like it's universally accepted already, but outside the NFL is mixed opinion.

    Why don't we hear about the CDC science that it takes 10 - 15 minutes of face time of direct contact to catch COVID19? That could happen at a restaurant. Or at work. Or at practice and games. But, it's who and with who that makes the difference.

    Well hopefully this is an anomaly moving forward. If not, Coronavirus is going to be of great utility for authoritarians!

    It's their test to see if we are like sheep and will blindly follow...I'd say they are winning so far as they voted Biden back into the Presidency and stole the election. There were 133 million registered voters before the election. Trump got 74 million. How did Biden get 81 million? And, the SCOTUS doesn't want to find out?

    That's the undercurrent for sure. As for the election math, I haven't done my due diligence to verify what is true. There are obvious deviations from longstanding norms, but then again I predicted in 2018 that 2020 turnout would break records. I made that prediction because I could see the citizenry being poked and prodded by hysterical news media in order to make people mad (which translates to political engagement and voting). Dems figured out how to use their raw numbers advantage, which is normally muted by the electoral college; they needed a way to use that advantage and they did it by making people angrier than they should have been for 4 years.

    The turnout doesn't surprise me in that sense, but the downturn in ballot rejection, the bellwether counties, the simple math you just mentioned, the last-minute push (since maybe June or July?) to make the election entirely mail-in, the waiting game several weeks after election - it all reeks of a plan to upset as many electoral norms as possible so that nothing is certain (and this is where narrative-building and consensus-claiming becomes important).

    Do you mean the "CDC science" that originally told us that masks do not stop viruses at all, but then told us that masks could stop viruses going out of a mask but not from coming into one, but now tells us that masks can stop viruses from both going out AND coming in? What a joke... they're just making schiff up... Truth is, pores of size 3 microns (and larger) do not stop viruses of size 0.1 micron...

    And the WHO has now completely changed the definition of "herd immunity" to no longer be about the percentage of the population that has been exposed to a virus, but rather about the percentage of the population that has been vaccinated. [setting up the proles for forced inoculations, much??]

    This covid scamdemic is quite literally 1984-"memory hole"-style psyops against the proles... People need to become educated about immunology, wake up to the psyops being perpetrated against them, and ditch the damn mask... I even see people wearing it alone inside of their vehicles... Do they think they're gonna infect themselves or something?? It's quite ridiculous...

    Haskins was a first round pick less than 2 years ago who had been demoted to third string twice because he sucks as a player. He had poor study habits, was lazy at practice and couldn't read defenses. The owner wanted him in the 2019 draft because he is a hometown boy even though the coaches at the time wanted nothing to do with him. Violating the league COVID protocols twice was just the icing on the cake.

    The NFL completely ignores mask rules in games where players are heavy breathing right in each other's faces - not wearing masks. So it is total hypocrisy and relying on the predictable stupidity of most Americans.

    Name ANY reason NFL players don't wear masks while playing since it is insisted that masks do NOT restrict breathing?

    People are angry on both sides. The difference is that Republican's tend to play fair and Democrats don't. Republicans do so because they are more likely to believe in Godly principles of being more honest and not cheat. Democrats have no belief system of fairness and cheating is approved if it gets their people elected. They have no one to repent to or feel they do. Republicans believe we are endowed by our creator. Our creator has given us a great gift of liberty and freedom. Democrat have no creator and therefore have no reason to believe they are doing anything wrong by breaking the law of the land, The Constitution.

    I'm not minimizing the pandemic. It's a real virus and the effects are killing people. Mostly older people with comorbidities. That's pretty obvious. What we can do about that is what we are being played with. Real scientists and doctors want to see herd immunity. Democrats and the media are using our fears against us to take control of the country as well as being played by China. It's obvious we can breathe wearing a mask. That means the virus isn't being stopped. And, we don't have to tear down our society and country by shutting down businesses. But, that's what the Democrats want. They hate conservatism. They want to destroy conservatives.

    What pandemic? There is no pandemic occurring.

    The virus is real, but it is not killing anyone (most certainly not 330K+ people in the USA alone). People are instead dying of other causes while they happened to have covid in their system at the time (heart disease, cancer, pneumonia, etc...)

    Indeed. Those people are dying of causes other than covid.

    Herd immunity is what I wish to see as well. Unfortunately, governments are (unconstitutionally and illegally, in the USA anyway) sticking their noses in the way of that and making matters worse than need be. The WHO has even gone so far as to redefine what herd immunity even is (they are redefining it to reference a certain vaccination percentage rather than a certain virus exposure percentage). This, of course, is a lie, like the other lies and manipulations that these Satanically influenced and controlled people are spreading to the masses.

    Bingo!

    Correct. They also want to redistribute wealth from the proles (small business owners and their employees) to the large conglomerates (Walmart, Amazon, etc...) ... This allows them to force more people into becoming completely dependent upon government handouts, which makes those people much easier to control ("be a good little boy or no government handout for you!!").
