Football Games Cancelled UK

[Mike]

There are so many unvaccinated players in the Premier Football
League, here in the UK, that nearly all games were postponed
yesterday.

The number vaccinated is reported to be around 60%, one team
only, Leeds United, has, or had during the week 95% vaccinated,
most of the others including the lower leagues are in a mess as,
on average only 40 - 50% have taken it.

There are many discussions about how to get them vaccinated,
"no vaccine, no game", another, no pay, but the contracts are all
causing problems, so the dilemma continues.

I think that the only way might be "no game", they will still get
paid their basic wage, but no game bonus, but I know nothing
about the structures in teams and I am only guessing.

I like to spend Sunday morning watching the highlights of the important games. Bummer! I hope they can sort this out soon, but I wonder about the crowds. In the recent past many of them were not wearing masks. It gets very confusing figuring out who needs masks, vaccines, and the varied restrictions.

The Premier League teams met today to discuss the
possibility of a break, to allow the teams to get the
players fully healthy again, but the powers that be are
not interested, there will be no break, so expect more
postponed games.
