Sure he is a repeat offender (he went to a cafe last year, when they were in hubs....) but this is a bit ridiculous if you ask me and keep in mind these guys are getting covid tested way more frequently than average Joe.It's because like Missouri we have low vaccination rates, it's the vaccination deniers that have caused the reaction as much as the ignorant players. The current status is not the same as the potential risk.
It's a billion$ industry, a lot of it's wealth comes from and courtesy of the State and Federal Governments, if the club didn't act the NRL might act and government would act, and then the whole competition would pay the regulatory price for years to come.
Nobody will look at that total potential risk and ascertain that one recidivist player deserves leniency, they aren't going to turn the other cheek. They've sold and secured the continuation of the competition to the regulators on the basis of being responsible citizens.
