I don't think that pro or college athletes should cut in line ahead of vulnerable groups (healthcare workers, the elderly, etc.), but they should be at the front of the line of the "everybody else" group, just to keep up the national morale.

I get the thought but teachers vaccinated is more important to boosting morale in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I image it varies by state or county. My point is about what will impact morale. Watching regular season hockey, while fun, is way after getting kids back to school IMO.

PleaseBlitz Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yea i would include teachers and other essential workers. Im just saying put athletes ahead of people with zero reason to be given any preference. So hopefully theyd be up by May. I also think it would help with the vaccine-skeptical.

I’ve accepted the fact that I’m basically in the final 10 percent to get a vaccine so I don’t have a problem with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 So, what’s the difference between the ability to be tested daily and vaccinating athletes? Aren’t they important to returning to normalcy and aren’t they leaders and role models? There’s something sadistic to me about saying “athletes don’t get to cut in line”. As if there’s no benefit at all to the public at large to getting athletes vaccinated. It’s not like there’s a huge number of them to really, really tip the scales. It’s a drop in the bucket.

There is a pretty good argument to putting entertainment type people at the front of the line. If you want people to stay home and away from each other, give them something to do / watch. BUT you also need to give them (the people at home) the necessary $ so that they can afford to stay home.

GoDeep81 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 From the morning skate/lines, appears Wilson may be ready to go! Imagine it's still a GTD, but he was skating with the 2nd line, so that's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
