That's just not right.  Then the justification that they go to different climates, buck up baby boy,
you play with broken bones.

Oh yeah, like they really needed them. ::)

I feel guilty about receiving one myself (I got mine the day before they announced that there was going to be a shortage), even though I qualify for it. I just keep thinking, man, my shot could've been given to my grandmother or a little kid or something. The fact that these big, seemingly tough football players got them just irks the hell out of me. Wimps. :P

If members of the Bears get the flu, the team will have a bad season, and if the team has a bad season, it will be bad for the Chicago economy, which in turn will cause more stress among the citizens of Chicago, and stress makes one more vulnerable to the flu, so the Bears getting vaccinated protects everybody in Chicago.  So there.

My parents had to wait in line for theirs. Thank goodness they even got one. I gave mine up this year to make sure someone deserving got one, then they pull this crap  >:(
