I don't recall seeing that anywhere in the Democratic propaganda that we needed 100% compliance. I also don't see where everyone is expected to wear a mask until the US was 100% vaccinated. Can you provide a link to this policy?

By the way, how does that work with the Southern Border practically wide open and thousands of illegal aliens coming across? A good percentage of whom are COVID positive and unvaccinated.

They won’t answer you about the southern border

Well, then why stop here with special bracelets? We should get them for Sex Offenders and Drunk Drivers. Perhaps any "Deadbeat Parent" gets a special one.

How about special bracelets for anyone that as a Trespass Warning or Temporary Restraining order? We could even put a bar code on those that they have to scan every time they want to go into a business or public area.

Let's go the extra mile and put GPS tracking into each bracelet so we know exactly where these people are.

Then let's get bracelets for your political party affiliation. To keep it simple we could use Red and Blue for Republicans or Democrats and any Independent gets a White one. That will make it really simple for some people to figure out who they may want to avoid.

Yep...absolutely no parallels.

The strawman army you’ve constructed here is quite impressive.

Did they not consider for one moment how preposterous it looks to pull this little "perception of safety" stunt so that some players might feel more at ease playing a sport that's highly likely to leave them with permanent brain damage and other life-long disabilities?

[FinsterRufus]

Aren't their colours yellow?

Regardless, it's a tad tone deaf considering how freaked out people are at the moment with conspiracies about control and endless Nazi references.

They shoulda picked another of the five hundred million thousand colours.

America, land of the second class citizens if you refuse to do what the government says.

Yellow bracelets are for players who make high salaries and choose not to get a vaccine.

Are you seriously equating both? Are you intending to trivialize the deaths of millions of Jews?

....and how many people in the 1930's and 1940's in Germany thought those yellow stars were no big deal?? Hmmm? There were plenty. The severity of the meaning of those yellow stars was not recognized until after 11 million people were exterminated!

Human beings should not be categorized and ostracized PERIOD. Not by religion. Not by race. Not by weight. Not by height. Not by sex and certainly not by what Government sponsored 'vaccine' they either chose to have or not have.

I'm sorry the 'trivializing' here is being done by you and those like you who think this wrongthink is A-OK. It is NOT. This is EXACTLY how the Holocaust was enabled in the first place. By people who pooh-poohed actions like this.

This is more of a company exercising measures to not be sued if people get sick during an outbreak.

HIPAA violations and discrimination is not a company right.

If you’re obese and at risk of covid, that’s on you. You don’t get to ostracize and alienate others for your own choices.

The vaccines don't stop the spread, they protect the individual. Those are just the facts, especially with the Delta variant.

These players are not harming anyone, and to think that 100% of the country even COULD be vaccinated is pure fantasy. Apart from compliance, millions of people have medical contraindications, like two people in my family. I guess I should buy bracelets for them. Or maybe just put a "Hate Me" sign on their forehead.

So, the running backs should wear yellow....nobody will get close enough to tackle them?

Great idea. I'd like to see more of this in the workplace, in schools. The comparison with gold stars on Jews is ridiculous. Jews had done nothing. It was simple persecution. Unvaccinated people are perpetuating a deadly pandemic. Marking them in some manner allows people to keep their distance from them.
