Jamie Nye: CFL threatening the pocket book in order to get more players vaccinated

Football is very much a copycat game.

One coach does something successfully, you’ll be in the years ahead a similar philosophy will be adopted to be successful.

Well, welcome to the CFL copying the NFL to try to get a better uptake of vaccinations across the league. You see, the league has set an 85 per cent threshold for teams to have players and staff vaccinated to be able to achieve certain rules, including the potential of losing all salaries for games that need to be cancelled due to a Covid outbreak.

The NFL was looking terrible before training camps on the vaccine front until they put down even more strict and punitive measures if players’ outbreaks were to cancel a game.

Now, the NFL reportedly has 90 per cent of players vaccinated.

Yes, they came for the money and money talked again. So copy and paste for the CFL to try to get the same result from their membership.
