Holy crap! The NFL has informed teams that if theres' a covid outbreak... [View all]

and a game has to be cancelled, the team where the outbreak occurred not only forfeits the game, no one on either team gets paid.

And the team with the outbreak has to pay the other team for their lost money, including player salaries. And football players make a lot of money.

That is huge. The NFL is getting serious about pressuring teams to get their players vaccinated. And ya just know the other professional sports leagues will soon follow suit.

I say kudos to the NFL for getting ahead of this serious national health issue. It's usually the NBA that's on top of issues like this.
