I'm surprised that no one has started a thread on this topic.
As most of us know by now, Tampa Bay Bucs WR Antonio Brown and two other Buc players were suspended for 3 games for "misrepresenting their vaccination status". Brown's lawyer claims that his client is vaccinated, however, neither Brown nor the other two players are appealing their suspensions.
This comes two weeks after Bucs' head coach Bruce Arians, in response to reports that Brown had obtained a fake vaccination card, a violation of federal law, claimed that "He (Brown) says he is vaccinated and he has a card just like everybody else on our football team," Arians said on the (Rich Eisen) show. "There's a trust factor that goes along with it. We did our due diligence, the league will look into the matter and do their due diligence. It's really no story."
There's a lot of unanswered questions. "Misrepresenting his vaccination status", along with Arians statement about Brown having a card, sure sounds like Brown and the others presented falsified vaccination cards to the team, and if that's true, how was it that the team failed to identify them as fake? Are the Bucs incompetent or were they lying? And what about Brown's attorney? How does he know that Brown is vaccinated? Was he in on the ruse? Will the feds get involved?
This is going to be interesting. The story is far from over.
