The NFL is discussing the possibility of requiring fans to be vaccinated in order to attend games, according to a report from the Washington Post.

The Post cites two people familiar with the deliberations who say that the league is considering the policy change in an effort to increase attendance at games. Currently, the NFL requires all players and team personnel to be vaccinated for the flu, but has not mandated that fans be vaccinated in order to attend games.

If enacted, the policy change would likely face significant opposition from anti-vaccination activists. However, it remains unclear whether the NFL would actually implement such a policy change, or whether it is simply exploring the possibility.

The league is looking at the data and speaking with experts to make a decision.

The NFL is “evaluating” the data on the coronavirus pandemic and speaking with experts to determine if fans will need to be vaccinated in order to attend games next season, league commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday.

“We’re certainly looking at that,” Goodell said on ESPN’s “Get Up” when asked if the league would require fans to be vaccinated. “We want our fans back, we want them back safely, and we’re going to do everything we can to make sure they can attend our games safely.”

Goodell noted that the league has been working with health experts throughout the pandemic, and will continue to do so as it makes decisions about the 2021 season.

“We’re evaluating daily, we’re looking at the data,” he said. “We’ve been doing that really throughout this pandemic … And we’ll continue to do that and make sure that we have all of the information necessary for us to make good decisions.”

The NFL has taken a number of precautions in recent months to protect players and staff from COVID-19, including instituting daily testing, limiting travel and requiring players and staff to wear masks in team facilities. The league has also held virtual meetings and installed plexiglass barriers in locker rooms.

Some fans are opposed to the idea, while others are supportive.

The National Football League has not yet made a decision on whether or not they will require fans to be vaccinated in order to attend games, but the league is reportedly considering it. The league is said to be looking at the policies of other professional sports leagues and organizations, as well as the advice of health experts, before making a decision.

Some fans are opposed to the idea of being required to show proof of vaccination in order to attend games, saying that it is an invasion of privacy. Others are supportive of the idea, saying that it would help keep everyone safe. Still others say that they would be willing to get vaccinated if it meant being able to attend games in person.

The NFL has not yet said when a decision on this matter will be made.

There are pros and cons to requiring fans to be vaccinated.

The NFL is currently discussing the possibility of requiring fans to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend games. This would be a controversial move, as there are pros and cons to requiring fans to be vaccinated.

On the one hand, varcinating fans would help protect them from the virus and would also help protect other fans, as well as players and staff. Vaccinated fans would also be more likely to follow safety protocols such as wearing masks and social distancing. On the other hand, some people may not want to get vaccinated, and forcing them to do so could alienate them from the NFL. Additionally, it could be difficult to enforce a vaccine requirement, as some people may lie about whether or not they have been vaccinated.

ultimately, the decision of whether or not to require fans to be vaccinated will come down to a balancing of risks and benefits. If the NFL decides that the benefits outweigh the risks, then it is possible that we will see a vaccine requirement for fans in the near future.

The NFL has not made a decision yet and is still considering all options.

The NFL has not made a decision yet and is still considering all options, but some experts say that it would be difficult to mandate vaccinations for fans.

“It would be really hard to do,” Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, told USA TODAY Sports. “There are a lot of logistical difficulties. You can’t just do it at the gate.”

Schaffner said the league would need to work with local and state health officials to set up vaccination sites near stadiums, and they would need to find a way to verify that fans have been vaccinated. He also said that it would be important to make sure that everyone who wants to be vaccinated can get access to the vaccine.

“It’s doable, but it’s a big undertaking,” Schaffer said. “I think the NFL is going to want to see how this plays out over the next few months before they make a decision.”

The league has not yet announced whether or not fans will be allowed to attend games in 2021, but they are expected to make a decision later this year.
