"I love this game, I love this team, I want to be able to compete and do the things that are important to build chemistry and winSome players are willing to endure daily testing, wearing masks, physical distancing and more restrictions to avoid the vaccine.
Shortly after Beasley spoke to reporters he released a new rap song in which he says there “ain’t a vaccination” for him. Teams that experience a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players could forfeit regular-season games, with players on both teams not getting paid. Similar rules applied last year when the league played all its games and completed its season on schedule, with little to no talk of forfeits.
The reluctance from Washington players to get vaccinated has disappointed and angered coach Ron Rivera — who is immune deficient after undergoing cancer treatment last year— to the point he wears a mask even though he has long been fully inoculated against the virus.
