I'm not sure why they're complaining. The measure was voted on and approved BY THE PLAYERS UNION last year.

The league was down in 2020 but every player got paid in full.

Flip side of the coin: I'd like to see the players get another bye week + allow for medical marijuana and/or CBD treatment.

I for one want as much NFL as I can get. Make it 18 games, instead of 17. Play a game every day of the week, if possible. The logistics are of no concern to me. Just give me the product and let them worry about how they do it. The players are well compensated and will be even better compensated with more broadcast windows every year. Their potential salaries are tied directly to the expanding revenue streams.

Yeah, but that one Friday will quickly expand once they get the foot in the door. I understand the desire to have it on multiple/every night, but that would wear down the appeal a bit IMO. Part of the savor of it is the anticipation of NFL Sunday for me. If it blends into just another “Who’s playing tonight” affair, then the product would diminish. Just my opinion.

I'm a gluten. I can't get too much of a good thing. Oh, there's also going to be four Monday night double headers this year instead of just one.

Literally everyone has complained about the results of some election where their peers outvoted them and someone or some measure won that they did not support.

The NFL needs more money ya'll. So what if the players have to play two games a week? They get paid. :roll:

The thing is most players don't get paid extra for an extra game. I'm not sure but as I understand it each player will get their contract moneys but it will be paid out over 17 rather than 16 weeks. Am I right or is there more money with a 17th game? This looks like a win for future contracts and players not existing ones.
