“Never thought I would say this, but being put in a position to hurt my team because I don’t want to partake in the vaccine is making me question my future in the NFL,” said Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins who took to social media to voice his concerns on the NFL’s push to force players to get vaccinated in a now-deleted tweet.

What if both teams go through a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players? Who wins then?
The wide receiver’s tweet got an immediate reaction on social media.
Jalen Ramsey, NFL All-Pro cornerback also responded to Hopkins’ tweet.
“Some of y’all clearly didn’t get what I’m saying here lol.. the NFL is pressuring/ ‘influencing’ guys to get the vaccine,” Ramsey said on Twitter. “They are saying if there is an outbreak, the team will be penalized heavily. My point is no teammate of mine will feel that pressure from me because whether you are vaccinated or not, there is still a chance of getting covid. I thought my point was simple but I guess not lol.
He added in another tweet, “Just because my teammate(s) personally decide not to get the vaccine, I won’t think they are a bad teammate.”
Ladies and gentlemen that right there is a red-blooded American, and it’s how everyone else should feel about it. Ramsey believes in freedom and it’s shocking how so many Americans no longer do.
Leonard Fournette, running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Super Bowl championship team, also spoke out against the league, tweeting “Vaccine I can’t do it…”. He also deleted his tweet.
