I lean toward being safe than sorry.
Yeah, I think Tyler would have been better served to have not posted those tweets. If he feels that way, then fine...but it doesn't come off like he put much actual thought into it.

Most people who post rants against their employer on social media don't put a lot of thought into it.

I'm no life coach, but I'd suggest anyone who isn't planning on shifting to a political career keep the covid rants under wraps.

Have you asked your doctor about the effectiveness of wearing masks or getting vaccinated? Because I have a suspicion your doctor would probably recommend both if they are a proponent of evidence based medicine.

Completely incorrect. Let's check out ocho's link . . .
How do you think chickenpox incidence decreased by 90% after introduction of the vaccine and we achieved herd immunity if vaccines only prevents symptoms?
Three completely false statements in just two sentences. The part about altering your genetics is the stuff of conspiracy theories.

Even the US intelligence community doesn't concur with that unproven hypothesis.

If the CDC and the big league doctors have been flip flopping along with Fauci I don’t know if I’d take my local doctors word for it either.

I have, two doctors actually, but you wouldnt agree with what either of them said so whats the point lol. "Evidence" is a very loose term in todays culture. People dont always agree on what evidence actually is anymore.

Yeah... Well he's also been saying how nobody can stop this offense for 3 or 4 years. Solid football player, but he's wrong a lot.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing. I'm glad some players are voicing their honest opinions, and I wish more of them would do the same.

If you like players being allowed to voice their honest opinions you picked a rather strange team to root for.

Why is that? Being a fan as long as I have, I can think of a lot of reasons why the Bengals are a strange team to root for lol, but none of them had to do with free speech. I'm pretty curious truthfully?

Just rumblings like Mike Brown has a Cory Dillon inspired rule against players airing their grievances about the team.
But with that and covid it just comes down to knowing the risks of using free speech to gripe about your employer.

Hard to keep track of which player had to be disciplined the most for complaining about Mike Brown.

These dudes are athletes. Why do you care about what they say? Sure there can be extra entertainment in the way they deal with the media, but if you're looking for informed perspective from current players, you're doing it wrong.

Ahh yes forgot about the Dillon rule lol. A lot of former players have talked smack, and sadly Mike Brown kind of brought that upon himself over the years. If he fired Tyler Boyd for speaking his mind about Covid and the draconian punishments the NFL has put in place, then we would be missing out on a good player, but I guess thats ok as long as we silence his dissent. Keep talking Boyd. Maybe Chase will join in to speak what he believes and they can both be fired.

I'm doing what wrong for who? Supporting freedom of speech is doing something wrong?
