They have a job which provides them a hefty salary. That alone still does not give them the right to jump ahead of others. Sports players care only for themselves. The NFL has become the National Felons League.
The NBA reeks of cheats, fighters, and one dot short of being criminals. The NHL. Well we all know about it.

Oh please. Yet again, MSNBC is trying to stir the pot of class warfare. They got their swine flu poison, er vaccine, before you did. So what? You'll get yours. Hell, you can have my dose, I don't want it. Why don't we just call this article what it is, another opportunity to rip on those who are better off than us. I'm not buying into it, and you shouldn't either.

How could you even say that what if your kid was turned down and died cause a nhl or nba player got it before your kid only cause of who they are and what they do or how much they make. Ya sure if they had enough for everyone ok jump the line but they dont have enough even for kids. If they need it cause there always travelling what about all the other teams that travel and didnt get it. but no its only cause they think there better and more important than everyone. Me personally i dont care if i get the shot but to give people who play only professional sports the shot before kids who can die or even people who cant get it. If the reason they got the shot is cause they travel alot which the president of hockey said that was the reason than why did only nhl and nba teams got it. There is teams that travel across the world and you dont see them jumping the line so its all bull@!$%#.
