warfelg Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The NFL and NFLPA having to work together is likely part of the delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And players were stuck in limbo because a $15 billion company is too lazy to develop a plan for how to cancel a game on short notice. Does the NFL want the " potential death on field contingency" be a thing that is set in downstream legal ramifications of player safety? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the replies and quote tweets. Which is crazy to me because this tweet reads as criticizing the NFL more than anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the guy who was spreading rumors that Troy Aikman was gay in 1999 so he's a little past due to be canceled, anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had the honor to meet him in 2015. I hated him before that. Was an absolute gentleman. I’m a nobody and he talked golf with me for 20 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqOptic Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 5 minutes ago, KingOfNewYork said: If the game was between two teams out of playoff contention do you think Skip tweets about the implications of the game? No. The magnitude of the game doesn’t mean the players should be out there tonight after what happened. The easy thing to figure out is when to play the game, the NFL made it through a ton of covid reschedules two years ago, they’ll easily figure this out. So why is Skip wrong for pointing that out? That the NFL is prioritizing that as opposed to handling the trauma of this event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that those people are able to get some sort of support if it felt traumatizing to them. If I were an 8 year old at that game I'd be asking my parents a million questions as to what happened; and they wouldn't be able to answer it. I'd hope that parents were able to explain it to their child the best they could. I hope they do get help to those who need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL figured out how to play games during every day of the week during COVID. No doubt they will figure out how to play this game if necessary, but the point is that it's entirely ******* irrelevant right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they're going to need one now... I would say that having such a contingency would go a long way to acknowledging the importance of player safety.
