Sean Dyche - vaccine for footballers?

[MarsLlama]

Painting it as "footballers want to get vaccinated because they think they're better than everyone and don't want to worry about getting the virus" is quite a phenomenal misunderstanding of what's actually going on here.

I know they should be down the line but .........how many people are they keeping mentally stable by playing ?????
it’s not just about COVID it’s about a whole range of illnesses......... mental illness being on of them and if keeping football keeps hundreds of thousands from going into depression then they should get it

life is pretty poor at the moment and football and other entertainment industries are making it that bit bearable

If football was suspended we could just go on netflix, or read a book, or play ps4. But I get your point.

We have a great top 100 books and films threads on this very forum, I will admit I am a sports fanatic and will watch slugs racing if need be but at the moment the Union has a choice, hunker down or start losing our at risk people at a frightening rate so if football and other sports have to take a backseat so be it, disclaimer though I was fucking bouncing on Wednesday night like a 5 year old on Sunny D when we dicked the rags.

Yesh I seen those topics, they look good.

I enjoyed watching you school them too but if they need to suspend it it should be, won't happen tho cos money talks.

Yep and that brings it full circle to disk beard and his pontifications

Why should footballers get it now? They're not THAT important, surely?

Maybe Dyche should concentrate on a vaccine to get a cure for the six fingers their sheep shagging fans are suffering with.

I think it could be ok if done right, sort the high risk out first with the funding they provide upfront. Significant funding to the NHS to help things going forward, who could really argue with that?

They play a contact sport every 3 days in some cases, where an outbreak of the newest strain could be harder to detect and spread more rapidly than anyone anticipated. There's not many professions you can compare that to, so they are at higher risk than most of the general public in my view. Obviously it's not just football, all contact sports where you potentially come into contact with another sweaty human being without any protection but not all sports have the same resources that the PL do. As for them being fit, it sounds as though how badly it affects you can differ greatly regardless of how young and fit you are and lets not forget they also have families who they'll want to protect, so it's not that simple.

I feel like some people are actually showing that they believe footballers matter less than the general public because of what they earn, which is equally as immoral as suggesting a footballer is more important than an OAP at high risk.

I presumed that football paid for it's testing, guess that's not the case?

Anyway, Dyche is an idiot if he thinks footballers jumping the queue is going to go down well with almost anybody.

It'll just piss people off even more. There's already an 'us and them' mentality with footballers as is and when you've got idiots like Walker or Kean breaking rules, it makes it even worse.

It's got nothing to do with wages. I just don't think it's fair that footballers get the vaccine before people in public facing jobs, delivery workers, binmen, shop assistants etc. Especially as footballers are young and fit on the whole. Some of the managers are at risk, but that's it.

Everything you say is spot on, but it's a reason to stop football, not vaccinate footballers.
