The NFL broke news this week, removing almost all restrictions for players that have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and placing severe restrictions on players that have not received the vaccine.
Anyone that closely follows the NFL knew this was coming — there was always going to be one set of rules for players that receive the vaccine and one set for players who made the personal choice to opt-out. Sports leagues around the country are incentivized to have as many players as possible vaccinated. The NFL, MLB, and NHL have all eased restrictions for teams that meet a certain threshold of vaccinated team members and players. It’s become a competitive advantage for teams to incentivize players to receive the COVID-19 shot.
