“Hi, I’m Cole Beasley and I’m not vaccinated,” the wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, shared in a statement on Twitter on Friday. “I will be outside doing what I do. I’ll be out in the public. If your [sic] scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period.”
“I may die of covid, but I’d rather die actually living. I have family members whose days are numbered. If they want to come see me and stay at my house then they are coming regardless of protocol,” he added.
he NFL and the NFL Player’s Association earlier this month agreed to new COVID-19 guidance, lifting most rules for those who have been vaccinated.
Vaccinated players will be allowed to eat meals as a team, leave hotels when traveling to interact with fans and others, go to media activities, use saunas and steam rooms and more.
But players who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 will not be allowed to participate in any of those activities. They will also have to get tested for COVID-19 daily, abide by social distancing guidelines, wear masks and more.
