NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been vaccinated. Thus, we learned that he will allow himself to hug the players who will climb on the podium, during the annual draft held this Thursday, in Cleveland. Discomfort.
Basically, this means that if one of the young hopefuls is a carrier of the coronavirus, the said virus will be able to find in Mr. Goodell the perfect intermediary to spread.
Was the big NFL boss infected with an illusion of invisibility upon receiving the sting, or is he just misinformed?
Being recruited is a magical moment for any professional athlete. While emotions will be high when their name is announced, I wonder if some of the footballers will brave the accolade that Goodell has claimed.
During the weekend, several Internet users did not hesitate to ridicule this special permission.

Dumb decision. He can still get Covid. Many variants are flowing in America and we don’t know if the vaccine is effective against all of them. Most of all, he can give Covid to players who haven’t been vaccinated and create an outbreak at the same time.

Not the best example to set.
We may have abandoned too quickly the virtual format adopted in 2020, finally. This time, Roger Goodell is unlikely to fall asleep in his chair during the session.
At this rate, Goodell will be making the final pick of the night from bed, in tasteful pajamas, with a draft card in one hand and a steaming mug of cocoa in the other pic.twitter.com/aiwMqeOb1W
