Joe Mixon sounds off on union’s role in COVID restrictions for unvaccinated players - NBC Sports

The NFLPA also has secured the ability of unvaccinated players to get paid if they miss games due to a COVID infection.

Bengals running back Joe Mixon has complained about the restrictions that will apply to unvaccinated players during the 2021 season.

It is a team sport, and if it were up to the teams all players would be required to be vaccinated.

At a minimum, unvaccinated players who get infected and can’t play wouldn’t get paid, if it were up to the teams.

The union managed to get significant relaxations in the 2020 rules and regulations for the players who get vaccinated.

The players who have gotten vaccinated and will experience a normal 2021 season should be happy?
