NFL Pro Cole Beasley refuses to get vaccinated despite the league’s COVID policies, according to Town Hall.
Cole said He’s “going to live my one life like I want to regardless.”
“Hi, I’m Cole Beasley and I’m not vaccinated. 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.”

“Fine me if you want.”
“I’ll play for free this year to live life how I’ve lived it from day one. If I’m forced into retirement, so be it.”
From Town Hall:
The NFL and the NFL Player’s Association came to an agreement earlier this month regarding updated COVID-19 guidance for summer training camps and preseason games, lifting previous restrictions for vaccinated players.
Those vaccinated will be permitted to eat meals with their team, leave hotels when traveling to socialize with others, attend media activities, use saunas and steam rooms and more.
However, unvaccinated athletes will not be granted the same freedoms and instead will have to get tested for COVID-19 each day, follow social distancing guidelines, wear masks and more.
