Last month, the Las Vegas Raiders announced they will require all spectators to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination for home games at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The new policy will begin during Las Vegas’s first home game against the Ravens on Sept. 13. Raiders fans will not be required to wear a mask, creating the NFL’s first “vaccine/no mask policy” for home spectators, per the team.
Not everybody is happy about it, which is why hundreds of fans have now planned to protest outside Allegiant stadium over the new rules.
“We will not back down on our show of Force. We will continue to have our faces seen and our voices heard. Spread the message and let u
This country know you are not alone. Stand together at the allegiant stadium at the raiders game September 13th 2-5pm
We will be around the sidewalk around the stadium.”

Not everybody agress with the protesting fans.
“If you are planning to protest at Allegiant stadium on the 13th because the Raiders are denying your civil liberties, let me be the guy to officially tell you that YOU ARE DUMB AS FUCK. And I don’t care if you think you are a “superfan” or not.. You’re retarded”
“Health and safety has always been our number one priority,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement. “After consultation with Gov. Sisolak and other community leaders, this policy ensures that we will be able to operate at full capacity without masks for fully vaccinated fans for the entire season.”
Just last week, hundreds of people rallied on the Las Vegas Strip to protest COVID-related mandates. The group “Las Vegas Freedom of Choice” organized the protest.
The Raiders will have vaccine stations available at home games in 2021.
