There are only a handful of mega-rich NFL superstars, mostly QBs. No chance of imitators when the majority of players are worried if being unvaxxed might get them cut from the team or fined. And $15k would wipe out an entire game’s income for a late round rookie.

If I’m parsing it right, it means that if you didn’t feel misled by his comments then somebody else made them.

Cutler:

“I have no problem with people wearing a mask. If that makes you feel safe and that makes you feel better – go ahead, I am all for you."

Translation: masks are for stupid people, and if you want to “feel better”, go ahead.

Culter, again:

“They’re putting me on the whole anti-vax, anti-mask thing. Which, I’ve chosen that for myself – of not getting the vaccine and not really wearing a mask …”

Translation: People are calling me anti-vax, anti-mask because I choose to be anti-vax and anti-mask.

“I am not a dumb jock”, says Dumb Jock.

Hilarious. I only brought him up for comedic purposes. Little did I know that he really was an anti-vaxxer. LOL. Of course he is.

Alternate translation: I didn’t make those decisions because I was swayed by stupid people, I independently decided to become a horse’s ass.
