NFL warns of forfeits in case of unvaccinated outbreaks

The NFL has announced that it will not extend the season if a COVID-19 outbreak emerges amongst unvaccinated players.

As the 2021 season approaches, the National Football League is resorting to drastic measures to push COVID-19 vaccines.

According to an NFL-released memo obtained by Tom Pelissero, the league has no plans to extend its seasons if there is a COVID-19 outbreak amongst unvaccinated players. If an affected game cannot be made up in its respective week, the team in question will be forced to forfeit.
