⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Cole Beasley (pro football player) isn't vaccinated and is stupid.

[underpants]

Beasley took to Twitter hours after he said he spoke with the NFLPA soon after complaining about its jointly agreed-to policy with the NFL regarding COVID-19 protocols.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley released a statement on Twitter on Friday in response to the sharp backlash he has received on social media, disclosing that he is not vaccinated and pledging to "live my one life like I want to regardless."

"I will be outside doing what I do," he wrote. "I'll be out in public. If your [sic] scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. ... I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living.

"I'm not going to take meds for a leg that isn't broken. I'd rather take my chances with Covid and build up my immunity that way. ... 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."

14. Arguing with an idiot is like yelling down a hole

"I haven't caught COVID yet so I don't see me treating COVID until I actually get COVID."

[Bleacher Creature]

25. Yeah, he's up there for the most idiotic take among NFL players.

The team brought in an immunologist from Harvard to answer questions and debunk nonsense, and Sweat's takeaway was "I need more data."

[Stallion]

49. I'm an SMU fan-He's Always Been an Idiot

he's just a country boy from a Podunk town-didn't learn much from the alma mater

[Blue Owl]

2. For someone who's good at catching things, he better watch out...

[SheltieLover]

9. Lol

Great point!

[rurallib]

3. Funny thing - you can "actually live" and be vaccinated AND

YOU ARE NOT A FUCKING PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD

It is a concept called being a good citizen. Mr. Asshole should try it.

[Grokenstein]

32. "But that bit of cloth violates muh freedum!"

"You ain't really livin' if you is wearin' a mask!! COUGH COUGH COUGH"

[Mr.Bill]

4. So he wants others to "steer clear" of him.

Clever strategy for a wide reciever.

[brush]

5. Yep, pretty stupid. Let's see how the team and other players take this.

If I was on that team I sure wouldn't want to play with someone so foolish to not just get vaccinated and be done with worrying about getting infected. It's so easy now to get the vaccine.

[Rustyeye77]

6. A number of Bills refuse to vax

Including Josh Allen.

They really are becoming a RW team.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

7. As long as he's actually fine about being forced into retirement like he says ...

Then I suppose I respect his decision somewhat. I mean, I think it's stupid AF, but it's his right I guess.

And that's exactly what should happen.

And he should STFU about it when it happens, as he's now claiming he will.

But I bet he won't when it does.

[Siwsan]

8. "I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living."

Ummm....... I'm fully vaccinated and, as far as I can tell, I'm actually living.

[SheltieLover]

10. Hahaha

Same here!

[ZonkerHarris]

16. he's brain challeneged

[Rustyeye77]

29. If he gets covid, I hope he stays at home and takes his chances.

[Bleacher Creature]

30. I'm actually living better since being fully vaccinated, so he's a complete moron. NT

[Arkansas Granny]

36. And I've not seen anyone "actually living" when they're dead.

[Siwsan]

37. That's a fine point!

[smirkymonkey]

44. Seriously! Is this guy dumber that a fucking brick or what?

Nothing he says makes any sense. I wish these people would all just catch Covid and die from it and leave the rest of us who want to stay healthy out of it.

[Demovictory9]

60. lol

[HAB911]

11. Poor child has a chip on his shoulder over something

overcompensation for perceived oppression?

[Northwinds]

46. Here's why

Beasley wasn’t even drafted by the NFL after a great career at SMU. Now he’s an all-Pro and probably the best slot receiver in the game......that’s why he plays with ‘a chip on his shoulder........

[TomSlick]

59. Or, it could be Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy - football concussion syndrome.

Not so much a chip on his shoulder as nothing functioning above his shoulders.

[RegularJam]

64. I've always loved that storyline. nt

[Vinca]

12. This is the kind of meal the Covid virus will be looking for. It's just a matter of time.

After the lung transplant he'll have a change of heart.

[oasis]

47. Lung transplant. "When keepin' it real goes wrong".

[Niagara]

13. Speaking as a Buffalonian

We have an abundance of unaware residents.



Not to hijack your thread but in 2014 Ralph Wilson passed away. Bon Jovi and TFG were bidding to buy the Buffalo Bills. TFG instructed Michael Caputo to convince Buffalo that if Bon Jovi got ownership, that he would move the team to Canada. Bon Jovi clearly stated that if he received ownership of the team, that it would be left in Buffalo where it belongs. Michael Caputo's lies about Bon Jovi wanting to move the team out of Buffalo got so bad that Buffalo DJ's wouldn't play his music and Buffalonians were mad at Bon Jovi. In the end, the Pegula's obtained ownership of the team.



I suspect that Beasley might be a tRumpist.

[underpants]

15. Hold on! We have some more input from Cole

[Niagara]

22. The stupid, it burns.

Yes, he's definitely a tRumpist.

[ShazzieB]

68. JFC, it just gets worse and worse!

Just when I think I've seen stupid, he turns around and gives us mega stupid!

[rownesheck]

17. Oh, I see.

It's a "god" thing with him. He's one of those weirdos. Hey, god people, do you think maybe your god helped the scientists create these vaccines so that you dumbasses would take it so that you wouldn't get sick? Or, do you believe your god created you and then that was it? It left you alone to do your own thing and act like a dumb shit? Maybe your god is testing the beings it created to see which ones it believes is smart enough to reside in heaven with it. To use your own idiotic argument for everything, "god works in mysterious ways."

Something to think about.

[RockRaven]

18. Historically the NFL does not lose pissing matches with mediocre, easily replaceable players...

So he can boast all he likes about not caring if he gets fined, that he'll play for free, etc, but he might not be playing period.

The league office does not take kindly to being publicly challenged like this, and teams get the message with a wink and a nod. See also Kaepernick.

[roamer65]

19. Let him and others like him die.

Just that many less “eaters”.

[Walleye]

20. He will be eligible to play in the Stupid Bowl

[demtenjeep]

55. too bad he won't get there

That road goes through KC and we will stomp him like before

[Blue_true]

62. You forgot, "then run into a 44 years old wall called Tom Brady"

[WarGamer]

21. why the focus on Beasley?

Half the NFL isn't vaccinated.

[underpants]

26. Because he's throwing a fit about it

Just like a kid.

[WarGamer]

27. He's definitely acting immature af.

[Northwinds]

42. Exactly

[Comfortably_Numb]

23. I guess that lost $1.6 million anti vaxxer golf lesson didn't hit home.

Fuck off Cole.

[underpants]

34. Rahm is back at the open.

He’s only two off the lead.

Sorry, the US Open - biggee tournament

[spanone]

24. A lethal combo

[Rustyeye77]

28. Same as all RWers

NO vax...god will protect me.

Same as the other bills that refuse.

[onecaliberal]

31. Sounds like he may have had one concussion too many.

[underpants]

35. Looked that up. I can only find one.

2017. I say “only” because his specific kind of receiver usually suffers them a lot.

[onecaliberal]

40. Maybe we don't know about other events. It only takes one.

[ShazzieB]

69. Could be.

From what I've read, a lot of small events, none of which seem like a big deal at the time, can eventually add up to serious damage.

In other words, that shit is cumulative.

[onecaliberal]

70. Absolutely. Even for people who don't get a concussion.

All of the contact has got to have some effect.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

33. He is willfully ignorant and

not getting any better.

You would think someone on a TEAM could get the concept, but he can't won't and he lashes out at the vaccinated. Sorry, Cole we are not the problem. Can't really get the Covid anymore and can't pass the covid, but YOU CAN, we can't prevent you from being stupid but the NFL can prevent you from passing your stupid around a little. It's the NFL stupid, if you don't follow their rules you can't play.

[FarPoint]

38. Keep him off the bench....

Let him hang out in the locker room...Is that an option?

[underpants]

39. Not really

He produces and pretty much everyone plays on a 53 man roster.
He’s a good player really.

[FarPoint]

43. Okay....

Nature will take its course....

[Sibelius Fan]

45. You'd think it was bad enough to be stuck with the WORST name in sports history.

Guess not.

😂

[oasis]

48. Cole's name or the Buffalo Bills?

[Niagara]

53. The Buffalo Sabres obtained a promising Right Wing player

named Miroslav Satan (pronounced shuh-TAN). There were all kinds of jokes surrounding his name. Unfortunately, after the NHL lockout was over, the Sabres didn't offer him a contract, but the NY Islanders did.





Miroslav Satan still has a sense of humor about his last name and can laugh about it.








Disclaimer: When I say Right Wing, that means that's the position that he plays in hockey. Not that he's a RWNJ.

[MerryBlooms]

50. Is the NFL continuing with their Covid protocols this season of constant

testing and tracing? I suspect so, they don't want to lose money... So, this anti vax idiot and other half of the league of idiot anti vax idiots will have zero consequences and be allowed to play. NFL will control breakouts like they did this year, unless they get hit with uncontrolled Delta. That will be the game changer and then the NFL will start mandatory vax program. Until NFL sees a dollar risk, these anti vax players Will play.

[underpants]

51. Yes the non-vaxxed players have a whole thing they have to do

Daily testing
Masks everywhere
Restricted social behavior

You know, not vaccinated

[MerryBlooms]

52. As I said, until the non vaccinated are a cost risk,

play as usual, no consequences. Some fans will gripe, but they will still watch and buy junk. NFL will make big $$$. Business as usual.

[Blue_true]

63. Vaxxed people who prove vax can sit anywhere. Anyone else who

to prove negative test.

Honestly, it is simply easier just to get vaxxed.

[Johonny]

66. That's what started the whole thing

The NFLPA and the NFL were finalizing rules and vaccinated players were having a lot easier rules, and unvaccinated were subject to harsher rules and fines. He thinks the NFLPA is selling him out by trying to get the point across to him to vaccinate.

For the NFL, it's just business. The cancelled games and moving schedule and lost stars for weeks on end sucked. They want to avoid that. It wouldn't surprise me if unvaccinated players get cut at end of camp. Non-stars like Cole just aren't worth the risk of missed games and spread to stars.

[tenderfoot]

54. This fb post will give you an eye-opening impression on Buffalo sports fans...

https://www.facebook.com/BuffaloSabres/posts/10159295145102954

[Niagara]

56. That's peanuts compared to the Buffalo Bills fb page.

Make sure you read the comments under the June 17 article titled "Cole Beasley is a Beauty." The majority of the Bills fans are defending him about not getting the vaccine.




https://www.facebook.com/BuffaloBills

[tenderfoot]

57. I blocked every user that either used a laugh emoji or complained in the comments

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is a white MAGA/Anti-Vax/Blue Lives Matter knuckle-dragger. Every last one of them.

Yes, I saw the same on the Bills fb page.

Buffalo makes Mississippi look like the most progress place on Earth.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

58. Charles Darwin approves

Link to tweet

[Blue_true]

61. I read about his shit two days ago.

Buffalo has been adamant about people getting vaccinated, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I used to like Beasley. He had a career year last year, but any adequate possession receiver would have done the same given the downfield, game-breaking receiving threats that team had last season.

[Johonny]

65. Rebel without a cause

[ShazzieB]

67. So people who get vaccinated are not "actually living," huh?

Everything he said was stupid, but implying that there's some kind of dichotomy between getting vaccinated and "actually living" is beyond stupid and over the line into offensive, afaic.

I'm don't follow football and never even heard of Cole Beasley until today, but based on this, I really don't like him very much.
