NFL Giving 7500 Tickets To Vaccinated Health Care Workers, Where Is Golf On This?

One of the real mysteries for all of sports was finally settled: who would be the first league to pay tribute to the world’s amazing health care workers by welcoming those vaccinated for COVID-19 to their events.

Well, we have our answer and it’s a high bar set by the NFL. With only 22,000 Super Bowl seats available this year, they’re giving 7500 free tickets to vaccinated health care workers.

Besides rewarding sports fans who work in the medical profession taxed by intensive hours these days, the move also endorses the vaccine. Sports has a role to play and the NFL grabbed the win-win opportunity.

Will anyone in golf try this? The PGA Tour? LPGA Tour? Masters? USGA? Now that the NFL has stepped up this seems like a no-brainer. Then again, it was a no-brainer before the NFL stepped up.

Here is Roger Goodell surprising health care workers with the news. Since he might just have a special guest in his Tampa Bay Super Bowl box, maybe he’ll suggest the Chairman consider a similar move.
