It's possible that TPTB planned on not giving North American pro athletes anything more than saline to give the illusion staying power. That's what I would do if I was an evil doer plotting to take over the world
Probably since the deaths we keep hearing about are mostly European athletes. A lot of doctors are probably writing each other (or themselves) fake vax cards as well.
I suspect the NHL wanted a polite way to back out of the Chinese Olympics without pissing off sponsors, China, and fans, so they're faking it with false positive tests.
EDIT: Here's the motive. Needed an excuse to get out of a contract.
While the NHL and NHLPA agreed on Olympic participation last year as part of a collective bargaining agreement extension, the deal to go to Beijing was contingent on pandemic conditions not worsening. A material interruption of the schedule allowed the league to pull out, and the delta and omicron variants spreading across North America not only caused games to be pushed off but made some players hesitant about going to China.
It would be cool if athletes backed out of the games for humanitarian reasons.
I had a liberal asswipe give me lip for not buying something because it was made in China... trying to imply I was rassis...
The wish I saw the look on their face when I said I won't support anyone using slaves, You're free to though if that's the kinda stuff you believe in, but I turned my back and walked away.
They are currently on pause til after Christmas. I think it will resume on Dec. 27th but if the cases keep piling up then that's probably going to be the trigger to cancel the season.
EDIT: They also announced that the NHL players won't participate in the Winter Olympics.
Maybe they all evander Kane’d it? Catherine fitts who gives some of the best interviews on the overall scope of this war also says it’s odd that adverse effects vary so greatly geographically. She didn’t have an answer but identified it as strange
My sister bought her husband and I tickets to the Penguins game today.
Well, we didn't get to go. Like half of New Jersey has covid. It's kinda rolling through the league again. We'll see what happens here... seem to be canceling over killing atm.
One athlete dropping will not wake them up. Written off by the vaxed as not related. Two at the Super Bowl or if it starts regularly in the NFL, that might to start to raise eyebrows.
Option 1: Athletes go there, exert themselves, die in the middle of the Olympics right in China. (or 1a, they die and a massive disinfo op occurs to try and hide it, which will work about as well as Peng Shuai). Huge loss of face to PRC.
Option 2: Cancel China Olympics due to COVID. Everyone knows it's the Chinese virus even as PRC is trying to deflect and contain. Huge loss of face to PRC.
It is incredible that any country is going to Red China after what they have done to the world with this weaponized virus. If these Olympics go on I don't believe there's any hope left for the world.
Don't get too worked up; the modern olympics have always been political. Being ancient, I recall Sovs and US judges trashing each others' skaters and gymnasts in scoring where subjectively able (thus Nadia's perfect 10).
That's the puppet show; but 'face' cannot be ignored in Eastern or Western nations.
Im a hockey fan. The weird thing I haven't seen a single instance of an NHL player dropping yet and they purport to be 99% vaccinated

There you go. 👍

You won't. NHL just cancelled the season. ;)

I know that's true ("Like half of New Jersey has covid. It's kinda rolling through the league again.") I saw it on the INTERNETs....
Yes. Covid travels & spreads via the alleged news. :)
Lol.. no way know if you have covid-19 either ;)
Who in US?
Didn't a 20 year old baseballer die this week? kimara bartee
Kimera Bartee is a 49 year old former Detroit Tiger and was the current first base coach. Cause of death is unknown. Vax status unknown though likely.
There was a 20 year old Cleveland prospect who died though.
Yeah I knew I had something mixed up. Thanks
NP. Love your screen name. Something my kids used to chant along with ayatollah assahola back in the day.
I keep waiting for a wide receiver to drop dead. Monday night football?
Super Bowl would be the biggest stage, but that's a month and a half away.
You never know…
See, the issue is currently in the US is that no athlete of any celebrity status has keeled over. Once it does, watch normies, go. "Ohhhh""shit".
I was having a convo about this the other day. It makes me wonder how many of these players actually got the jab or did they falsify documentation?
Yep. I’m waiting on it. Unfortunately it’s HS and College kids. My son had a frat brother drop dead at 21 not long ago. Vaxxed, athlete, no drugs.
Or one of the national semi final or January 1st college games.
They'll cancel the superbowl before they allow that to happen.
Nope. Commercial time is too valuable. Especially since they've started selling them for less than previous years.

Would be AWESOME to see them drop dead in mid-flying catch!
and then blame the non vaxxed.
seems to me that the clotshots deduct 10 iq points for every dose!
Good call
New olympic drinking game. A shot of whiskey for every athlete collapse. No one’s sober when the marathon’s over.
OK, sorry for the levity. Sometimes you gotta shake your head and laugh.
...while the disease they are trying to fight has weakened to a common cold-like illness.
Enemies of the people for certain. None of these deaths were necessary because the shot is a failure and a blight on humanity.
Beijing, February 4-20, 2022.

Yet another variation of NCSWIC.

If there ever was a time logistics worked in your favor?
I think we've all learned by now that stupid is contagious, and is usually passed through watching television.
