Al Leiter, John Smoltz won’t appear at MLB Network studios after refusing vaccine

[michael777]

Hall of Famer John Smoltz and former Met and Yankee Al Leiter will no longer appear in-studio for MLB Network after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, The Post has learned.
MLBN has made it mandatory for all employees to be vaccinated, with the mandate going into effect Sept. 1. MLBN executives, Smoltz and Leiter made a compromise to keep them on-the-air, but not in the Secaucus studios. They will both appear remotely for the shows.
Smoltz will also still call a Division Series game on site in October. The two are regular in-studio analysts for the network. MLBN declined to comment. Leiter and Smoltz did not immediately return messages.
Smoltz, 54, is also the lead analyst on Fox’s coverage of the MLB, making the calls on the biggest games, including the World Series. Leiter, 55, is also a Mets advisor.

Good... They made their choice

 

[metro]

young folks have their career and life in front of them .. they have to take it
old folks must listen to their doctors .. they have to take it

no shame on them ..

the 40 year old / 50 year old generation needs to step up and make a stand against this , nothing to do with
wether the vaccine is effective to not ..

100 percent on principal .. when they stop withholding the facts on the origin of the virus I will begin to trust them
on what they are telling me is for my own good.

lets start there and then proceed , until shove that vaccine up your ass

if they have no leverage over you and you still get the vaccine , that itself is anti American
and shame on you

Peoples pay are threatening to get docked .. business owners are being threatened with fines if
allowing non vaccinated patrons on premise ..

yet they are not threatening welfare and or people on social programs to have their benefits docked

I wonder why ?

and for the record I am a big welfare person .. I am not against it at all .. my plan calls for welfare to be expanded

along with a black. president that can say the things to the black folks that white people can't .. that's the only way we stop this in
its tracks .. need a sub set of the population 40-55 that are prepared to not fly, not eat out etc .. and stand up
for everyone else in this country .. thats not such a big sacrifice ..

the bigger sacrifice is the people that DID NOT want to get the vaccination but based on the leverage over them they had to get it.

 

[metro]

their are vaccinated people out there that feel shame and struggle with the guilt of feeling being manipulated and played ..

anyone here want to chat about the C.1.2 strain ? and which group is trending to be the one that is affected
most drastically ?

those who have taken a 2nd dose ..

oh and how's this .. a study shows that the C.1.2. is being held at bay by the current strain,

so if the current vaccine you are being told is for your own good, actually does work..

here's the kicker .. it greases the skids for the C.1.2 strain to fill the vacuum and nail those that took
the second dose ..

wow the irony

 

[Biggins]

Getting pretty boring around here wtf are you talking about for Christ sakes. I bet on sports probably because people bore the shit out of me. But that’s just me party on Garth.

Those guys don't need that job anyways.....especially Smoltz
He lives the good life.

I think it BS for a company to force an employee to do something so controversial and is showing daily to be not as effective as it is being perceived......

But it is their rule and its the employees choice to follow. I look at this similar to a dress code I suppose.

Most ridiculous thing I've read here in awhile. Everyone can choose for themselves, THAT is American. Not anti-vax, just pro-choice.

Which means fuck mandates fasho.

The way you dress doesn’t determine your health. Them forcing vaccines for employment is the employer telling what is best for you.

I still can’t believe all this is happening. Definite agenda, and it’s working.

The way you dress or even go butt naked to work does have it's consequences whether one stays employed or not. FACT. Wearing or not wearing a seat belt can lead to a fine, serious injury or death. FACT. Same shit with the vaccine. Do you see how the Delta variant has exploded in the South among the unvaccinated? Consequences.

lmao, dad talks about it all the time at work, the 400lb people in the motor carts with mask on. the weight is never an issue but god forbid they don’t wear the mask that will be what got them.

I wonder why so many people take these vaccines despite the numerous significant lies from "leadership" about the virus that have been proven, so far, and others that are obvious and are pending.

Ultra-vaxxed, booster-heavy Israel now has more Covid infections per capita than any country in the world. Consequences.

Seat belts are an awful analogy since none of these draconian ad hoc "rules" imposed by unelected technocrats are actual laws on the books. That's right, what the government is doing is totally illegal. No debates in Congress, no cost benefit analysis, no end game in sight. "Their" only saving grace is people are tolerating this nonsense...for now.

Remember "15 days to flatten the curve!" and "vaxxing = herd immunity"?

Laughable.

Nothing screams liberty more than letting Big Pharma compromise your immune system and transforming it into their subscription service. Sorry Carl, you don't have the 7.0 version on your phone, therefore your subscription has expired; no service for you!

Really???? This is the society you want to live in?
