They're tested every day and have to be negative to even be in the building, there's really no reason for it other than PR. which was necessitated by his blatant lies and attack of the league Still don't understand why people do not understand why it is completely rational behavior from the league...

Oh I don't care they're investigating. They slap a fine on him and their image looks fine. They'll probably give it to a charity of Rodgers choice behind closed doors and everyone will be happy. Now he's not subject to the same rules for 90 days so it will all blow over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is rational, just not for the virtuous reasons you're claiming. This is about image, money and PR for the league. They were fine letting the rules bend, but now they're in the spotlight so they have to act. No different than any big business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's completely rational behavior from the league to respond in the manner that they did when it turns into a clown show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The point may very well be that the league doesn't watch press conferences unless there's a reason to do. At least that will be the plausible deniability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reason they CLEARLY articulate deference to the teams on these matters: (1) An understanding that the individual teams are the ones at greatest risk and therefore most likely to care and police themselves because the league set it up such that the risks are relatively significant (2) Finite resources. The league has a rational interest in both positive PR and (perhaps shockingly to some) a vaccinated populace. Thus they spent energy to construct a system where the league resources do not need to get involved until they need to get involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
