And ? They make their own personal choices about what they want to put in their body .
Not really - any athlete who freely puts whatever they like in their body, whether it’s food, alcohol, drugs, or medicine, will quickly find themselves out of a job. They have a responsibility to keep themselves in the best shape they can, and clearly the smartest way for them to do that right now involves getting the vaccine. Clearly Robins and the medical staff know that, and hopefully the players get the message - hopefully they encourage a few City fans to do the same!

Everton midfielder Delph slams Covid-19 'conspiracy theory' after Premier League rules all players need vaccination | Goal.com
Everton midfielder Fabian Delph has suggested the Covid-19 vaccine is not needed after the Premier League ruled all players need it to play this seasonwww.goal.com
Robins said himself he won't force them .
It's their choice .
The same way its everybody's choice
Amazing.. and quite likely he’s not the only one thinking that way. At least the Premier League have made a ruling on it
I’d have no less objection to insisting they get the vaccine than I would to insisting they don’t eat Maccy D’s for every meal. We’re not usually very patient when footballers make bad decisions with their personal lives that could affect their game, and I’m not going to start here.

By all accounts , many players still refusing , what will happen?
If a footballer is caught on the piss they get slaughtered for it, weird how not having a vaccine is acceptable though

Not a very intelligent contribution. You’re a huge conspiracy theorist anyway though.
Having a drink of beer and and having a vaccination are in no way shape or form comparible
I haven't seen it but he's done well stealing a wage the last few years off Everton, he's not looked upon fondly up there.Fabian Delph posted something the other day about it being a conspiracy, though he’s never come across the sharpest tool in the box
But they are, unless you genuinely think there is something dodgy in the vaccine? How many fit & healthy sportspeople have have any complications from vaccines?

As above, the difference here is you’d be saying ‘you must have this injected into you or you get fined’.
Same as if a player showed up hungover and ended up missing games through boozing. That’s personal choice too, with consequences.

I suppose the difference here is we wouldn’t be mandating them not to put something in their bodies, but mandating them to put something in which they have some objection to.

Plenty of countries and industries already mandate vaccines or other medical treatments for all kinds of conditions, but ultimately it’s up to the players as to whether they want to be in peak condition, and it’s in everyone’s interests that they listen to the science. If Jodi Jones turned round and said he didn’t want ACL surgery because he’d heard it might cause infertility, would we give him the benefit of the doubt and tell him we’ll wait until he gets better on his own terms, or would we just sack him off?
If our players were all 80 years old, you might have a point, but they aren't.
You are comparing apples and oranges and proving that this agenda goes further than just 'health and wellbeing'.
Robins is smart, he knows that forcing people isn't the right way. Instead he will opt for the education route, which will no doubt have more success.
I know we are going full circle here, but this is like the remain campaign. Forcing and pushing ideas onto people does not work. It will have the opposite effect. Same applies here.
The big difference is they have chosen to consume whatever it is. The injections are technically invasive and there’s a difference saying they must have that versus they must not eat junk food or drink booze

There is no difference
Players choose what to do with their bodies. Nobody is advocating they are forced. But if they choose not to get vaccinated and end up missing games- that’s a big problem.
They need to be accountable for their actions, they shouldn’t get a free pass due to ‘hidden agendas’ and all that garbage
The remain campaign?
You sound like a dictator
They should be held accountable for not putting something in their body they don't want to.
Mate that's a bonkers mindset

If you believe the vaccine is dangerous somehow then it would be a terrible thing to say, yes.
