There have been a host of different reactions left and right about the NFL's latest vaccine policies. With players and teams potentially hurt by its unvaccinated members, those that have taken an adamant stance against the vaccine have felt the need to voice out. Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley has become the face of this movement.
Back in June, the Bills wideout posted a transparent statement on Twitter expressing his stance.
“Everyone — Hi, I'm Cole Beasley and I'm not vaccinated!,” the Bills receiver wrote in a post Friday that he called a “Public Service Announcement.”
“I will be outside doing what I do,” Beasley added. “I'll be out in the public. If your scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period. I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living.”
Upon the NFL's announcement of its strict policies earlier this week, Cole doubled down on his position. The Bills star gave the only condition he would ever get vaccinated – getting a cut of the profits. To which Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban offered to put his money where Beasley's mouth was.
I’ll tell you what Cole. You get vaccinated and promote vaccination on all your social, I’ll buy your wife a share of Pfizer stock. It pays a 3.78% dividend. That way she is getting a percentage of Pfizer’s earnings. Deal ? https://t.co/gMmMHt97ro

But it appears the offer wasn't sweet enough. The Bills star gave an 8-word final statement on the matter, and it looks like his mind is made up.

It will be interesting to see how the season develops, especially with games being played with crowded stadiums and more open public spaces nowadays. Safe to say this isn't the last time an NFL star like Bills' Cole Beasley will go against the grain.
