Where I work, it's mandatory to get a flu vaccine every year.  Fail to do so and you are terminated.  Absolutely legal to do so.

There are court cases going on now for this, but a this isn't a FDA approved vaccine yet. Generally you can say you are required to have the vaccine to say enter the building or something similar. They also need to provide alternatives for people with legal exemptions, like work from home.

The NFL did not mandate the vaccine. They put rules in place that have no factual basis. They are punishing the unvaccinated players. They also have threatened the unvaccinated players with forfeiting games. All of this is illegal.

Vaccinated players can spread the virus but they say it doesn't matter, once you test negative 2 times you are good.

They also say if a unvaccinated player test positive, they will not reschedule a game. How do they know where the unvaccinated player got it? Did he get it from one of the vaccinated players?

The NFL was fine until they started setting up different rules to punish players.

Would you please cite your precedent to differentiate an Emergency Use Authorization from an FDA Approval during a declared Public Health Emergency?

The simple fact is that the EUA does everything needed to make what the NFL is doing perfectly legal. As far as vaccinated players go they shouldn't be testing them at all, there's no point to it. Just keep the record of the unvaccinated and when they get the virus then quarantine and fine them.

Then why only punish the unvaccinated? They should do the same thing for both if they cared about protecting their money. They are using it as a work around instead of mandating the vaccine.

A vaccinated player can still get and spread covid, so why are they allowing separate rules for them? The same 24 hour or 10 day rule should apply to both. The league is basically saying it doesn't matter if you have covid now, you can spread it to the whole team.

Because unvaccinated players are refusing to take the proper step necessary to protect the League and game therefore when the inevitable happens there should and will be consequences.
