NFL expanding to 17 games

[RiDLer80]

Wrong.

The NFL pretends to care about player safety but adding another game, another playoff team and keeping TNF proves they only care about making money and their player safety crusade is a farce.

They've been saying it'll go below $175 for the 2021-2022 around $165 maybe this fixes things but I don't see people being allowed to attend football games until 2023.

How do you figure 2023?

They could get hurt walking into the stadium....they could get hurt sneezing. Do you care about the construction workers working 16 hrs a day for 3 months as much as you do the nfl player make it 1000% more?

Average NFL career is 3 years. How much do you think Wolford was making for the Arizona hot shots or in the NFL now? Not everybody in the NFL is Russel Wilson. My point is the NFL constantly preaches about NFL saftey yet only gives certain calls to their biggest assets. Which are very popular QBs. It's more about the league being able to generate more income them and not getting sued then it is about saftey. I'm just saying it's hypocritical.


In what serious professional league should certain penalties only applied for certain players regardless?

Then why did the players agree to it? Don’t act like the players don’t know what they are doing and that they don’t have a choice.

when you say the “NFL” you are including owners and players.
Nobody has forced these guys to play the game. The have some sort of college education. If the players feel that only certain players get certain calls they have every avenue to take that up with the Ref union and ownership. Keeping their mouths closed is their fault.
I’m not sure why you think the players and owners are not in this for the sole purpose of making money. They are

Sports will either be moving towards filling stadiums again by 2022 or they never will again. That will give ample time to provide the vaccine to a large segment of the population, but the vaccine isn't going to provide coverage forever. It will probably be a few years and you'll need another shot, time will tell on that aspect

I don't think bears get to a 4000 yard passer next year with 17 games. Somebody is going to get benched.

The revenue from the extra game should go 100% to players.

Combined this with Pace's heroin induced start to free agency and cap cutting , Bears setting up to be the first 0-17 team in NFL history.
