In a move reminiscent of George Costanza pushing children out of the way to escape a fire, it came to light this week that players and staff in The Toronto Maple Leafs organisation have jumped the line ahead of children and the elderly to get the H1N1 flu shot. Ditto for the Calgary Flames.
The reasoning cited by one player is that they are more likely to get the flu. This may be true given the amount of air travel pro sports teams endure. However it is very unlikely that any pro athlete will die from H1N1.
Just to let Brian Burke know, the purpose of having a priority group is to protect the people most at risk, not the people who make the most money.
And, God forbid, should your son or daughter die because they were unable to get the shot, you should complain to MLSE. If you're lucky, maybe they'll give you an autographed jersey to throw in the coffin.
Apparently, Spirit Is Everything, decency is nothing.
