This isn’t surprising because Cole Beasley has clearly said he does not care about other people’s health and safety, including his teammates.
This is bigger than not getting the vaccine.
If you don’t want to get the shot, that is fine, but at least follow the rules, so you don’t get anyone else sick, but Beasley doesn’t care if you die or not.
Here is the report from ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
Bills receiver Cole Beasley has been fined multiple times for Covid protocol violations for a cumulative sum in the range of $100,000 per league and union sources. Beasley was fined $14,600 in August on a day league officials were in the facility to review the protocols.
The $14,600 fine has been doubled on more than one occasion via video monitoring by the league. One source estimated the $100,000 total sum, another source believed it was just short of that amount.
Beasley’s Covid-19 absence today won’t cost him, though. Under NFL and NFLPA agreement, even unvaccinated players are entitled to their full pay if they miss a game due to Covid-19. Beasley makes $4.7 million in base salary, so he still gets his $261,111 game check.
There are several team execs who believe it’s one loophole that needs to be revisited for 2022, believing an unvaccinated player who lands of the Covid-19 reserve list should not be paid if he misses a game or games.
This is the first time Beasley has landed on the list.
I don’t think an unvaccinated player who is following all the rules should have their check taken away, but if it is someone like Beasley who is putting lives in danger, I think they should actually be suspended.
This is not a game.
If you want to put yourself and your family at risk, that is one thing, but when you are putting everyone else at risk, that is something totally different. His teammates have families they would like to get back to after leaving work.
