Sports loves to be part of whatever the latest propaganda push is.
Edmonton Elks serve as cautionary COVID tale to the rest of the CFL
In a virtual press conference, Elks president Chris Presson declined to identify the latest nine players under COVID protocols.
The question on everyone’s mind, of course, is who are they and are they vaccinated?
The thing is, the CFL’s first COVID outbreak is not, in and of itself, an issue of vaccination. Even fully vaccinated players can still come down with the virus, as evidenced when Elks offensive tackle SirVincent Rogers went public with his own experience of testing positive in Week 1.
Speaking to media via video conference while still in undergoing mandatory quarantine at the time, Rogers reported being asymptomatic and encouraged anyone not yet vaccinated to reconsider the benefits of getting the needle.
And Canadian media behaves as if no one in the country has any idea what’s going on in the rest of the world.
Baseball Has a High Vaccination Rate. It Still Hasn’t Been Able to Shut Down Outbreaks.
The New York Yankees have had a series of outbreaks in recent months despite the fact that nearly all of its players are vaccinatedTwenty-three of MLB’s 30 teams have reached the threshold of 85% of their Tier 1 employees being fully vaccinated, which includes players, coaches and essential staff members who are in close contact with players. About 86% of all Tier 1 individuals are fully vaccinated, MLB said. Many of them, including the New York Yankees, received their shots in late March and early April, around the time the season started.
There’s lessons here in all this its just that the evidence doesn’t line up with the narrative.
Please, the correct nickname for a team that capitulates to woke white liberals is: eunuchs.
Mike..I totally second dat.
Eunuchs is the name for the entire So called Pro Sports World. An avid Hockey & CFL fan, neither shall be given a cent of money or perusal forthwith…actually in Effect since Dec 2019.
On Edit: What Paul said below..!!
As to supposed “CASES” …That statement amounts to nothing but pure Propaganda & Medical Bullshit…as it has for 17 months.
The Elkimos.
What is an Elkimo ?
An Elkimo is a two horned creature without genitalia or brains, they love Karl Marx and going to the bathroom, in their pants.
Go Elkimos Go !
They are not sports.
Sports is something you or another do
They are cost centers,money pits for advertising, sugar beer barkers to fat, sedatary old farts and other Walter Mitties.
Harsh.
The Elks?? WTF?? Arent the Elks offended?? Did any “woke” person ask an Elk if they could use their name?
The Eskimos actually were HONOURED to have their name attached to the football team.
Elks means horns and horny means rape so it’s the Edmonton Rapists.
And a male elk would be a stag! How sexist of the bastards!
Can you imagine if someone referred to one of their games as a stag party?
They were named in honour of a renowned paleontologist:

the ENTIRE ‘covid’ thing prove finally and decisively for me that far too many are abysmally ‘igernant’ about medical issues.
but according to leftists running the edgukaySHUN cyctem, well, they gots the right pronoun!!!!
I lost interest when the CFL went woke and told me that I was a racist because I have white skin, this aint helping get me back.
Who the frig are the Edmonton Elks? A double AA varsity team?
In what world is a bunch of people without any symptoms of an illness an “outbreak?” Asymptomatic people are not sick. They may make others sick but they are not in and of themselves sick.
I hope the whole league goes dead.
SJW bunch of pussies
An entire world of stupid. will someone, anyone, wake up get smart, use their brain, all of the above. Stop believing lies .
Ok. I have lost the edit feature.
Well looky looky, the jab goo loses effectiveness at the 6 month mark, right on time.
To know what the future looks like, Israel is the example.
The vaxxed are filling up the hospitals there, not the pure unjabbed.
Our governments are either outright lying, or delusional, thinking they are perfect and will prevent any further COVID outbreaks. Neither choice is acceptable, but that is Canaderp today.
“Elks president Chris Presson declined to identify the latest nine players under COVID protocols.
The question on everyone’s mind, of course, is…..”
….did any of the players die of these “cases”?
No, you say?
Then don’t worry about it. Cases don’t matter any more than cases of influenza matter during seasonal flu season.
I better get out a few years ahead of the curve on my vaccine virtue signaling:
“All of you who have only had your 54th booster shot are a danger to the virtuous like myself who have had the 55th booster shot.
Damn you anti-55th booster shot deniers………”
Everytime I hear the name blue BOMBERS my PTSD from the Vam gets triggered.
Just dont go full retard…..
The horror…the horror
These leagues all based this stuff on vaccines being 100% effective. Oops.
The plural of elk is elk.
You don’t drive through Yellowstone and say, look at all the elks.
I do if I’m drinking beers.
Maybe if the Edmonton team was a bit more clever with their spelling, they’d be the Edmonton Elx.
Of course, we could always call them the Edmonton Wapiti.
BC Lions have decided their name is too scary, they will now be the BC Lockdowners. Their motto, be kind.
They hope to be especially kind to the Toronto Social Distancers (known to many as the Not-gone-outs) when they visit.
