Update: 1/22/21
Roger Goddell announced to day that the NFL will honor about 7,500 healthcare workers who have taken both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine with free tickets to the Super Bowl, most health care workers will be from the Central Florida area, but they did say that all 32 NFL teams will select healthcare workers in their community to be honored at the Super Bowl. Goddell also added:
These dedicated health care workers continue to put their own lives at risk to serve others, and we owe them our ongoing gratitude, we hope in a small way that this initiative will inspire our country and recognize these true American heroes. This is also an opportunity to promote the importance of vaccination and appropriate health practices, including wearing masks in public settings.
Super Bowl LV is creeping up on us, and with it being the first in the Covid/social distancing era, the NFL is planning on honoring healthcare workers who have been worked to the bone during the coronavirus pandemic with tickets to the “big game.”
Super Bowl LV will take place on February 7th from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL with either the Green Bay Packers or Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City Chiefs
As we all know, these frontline workers are the true American heroes, and we owe them our ongoing gratitude, we also know that we need to rely on them for months to come to distribute vaccines and continue to treat all of those that are ill from Covid and other illnesses.
The plan still needs approval, but I couldn’t see this not passing. It’s dope that since they can’t have a packed stadium like they usually do, they’re honoring those who have kept us safe.
