The Athletic's Daniel Kaplan reports the league is considering a plan that would allow fans to attend games this fall after signing a waiver promising not to sue the league if they contract COVID-19.
It's a "personal responsibility" plan. It's fair in theory, but it ignores those fans' responsibility not to spread the virus in their communities. This is going to be close to an impossible tightrope for the league to walk. Fans attending games still seems unlikely, and if they do, it will be in a form unrecognizable to what we are used to. If it does come to pass, Kaplan reports the league is encouraging cashless payment and prepackaged food. This will be a saga that drags on for weeks.
Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports the NFL has officially decided to reduce the preseason to two games.
The league will reportedly scrap exhibition weeks one and four. It no longer makes sense to play four preseason games in a normal year. With a worldwide pandemic raging, the reduction is a no-brainer for 2020. It could be a coronavirus-induced change that ends up surviving beyond this year. Teams simply no longer take the preseason seriously, with many not even playing their regulars in what has traditionally been a "regular season dress rehearsal" in the third game.
wow they might actually get the redskins to change their name now
FedEx has demanded it and Nike took all redskins stuff off their site

The only thing that's going to be better than dropping the name is going to be their initial response.
U.S. Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva, whose committee oversees the RFK Stadium site, called the prospect of a new Washington stadium a “non-starter” unless owner Dan Snyder changes the team's name.Gonna depend how much of a dick Dan Snyder is. Snyder will have that team playing there until Hell freezes over to spite fans. Hell, I can see Snyder getting delegates to vote out Grijalva AND the deputy mayor before changing the name.
“I call on Dan Snyder once again to face that reality, since he does still desperately want to be in the nation’s capital,” Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District’s delegate to the House of Representatives, said. D.C. Deputy Mayor John Falcicchio added that "there is no viable path, locally or federally, for the Washington football team to return to Washington, D.C., without first changing the team name.” Many still consider the team’s name to be a racial slur, but Snyder, who has owned the franchise for 21 years, insists it is an honorific and one he will never change. Until Snyder changes his opinion on the matter, it's ostensibly a fact that Washington will not have a clear path to a new stadium.
ABC reports FedEx requested the Washington Redskins to change their team name.LOL
Washington, of course, plays at FedEx Field, so this could be enough for ownership to actually make the long-overdue name change. What makes this even more interesting is the fact that one of the minority owners of the team, Frederick Smith, is the current CEO at FedEx. U.S. Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva also said the prospect of a new Redskins stadium is a "non-starter" until owner Dan Snyder changes the team name. Snyder has yet to provide a comment.
Were the Redskins the team that were pimping out their cheerleaders? I don't think they'd do anything out of the goodness of their hearts.
I know Matthew McCounaughey will be livid if the name is changed.

ESPN's Dan Graziano reports the NFLPA Board of Player Representatives unanimously voted to recommend skipping the 2020 preseason.
It's a big domino to fall at 8 p.m. eastern, just hours before July 4th. At this point, it seems like the 2020 preseason will be totally cancelled as teams look to limit exposure with coronavirus cases climbing in many states. The NFL is already planning on inviting fewer than normal players to training camps, partially because they know the preseason is on the ropes. It won't be a surprise if teams ultimately hold private training camps and roll into Week 1 without scrimmaging other teams. For fantasy purposes, it means rookies will have an even harder time earning an early-season role.

Rivera told the Post it is important that a new nickname respects Native American culture and traditions, while also saluting the military. Rivera is the son of an Army officer.... how you gonna do that? Hell, the military didn't even respect Native Americans.
America has never and will never respect Native Americans. They collectively have like one acre of land because we keep taking it in the name of capitalism.
Military can go eat shit. Not everything needs to be about them.

I still don't get how the football or any sport has to suddenly bend over backwards for the military. It's one thing to respect the troops but goddamn, NFL spreads their ass just to make sure everyone knows they support the military. I sure don't see Adam Silver and the NBA doing that shit Goodell does. To my knowledge hockey sure doesn't do any of that stuff. MLB does but not in an overly blatant way like the NFL.
Don’t they get paid to promote it?
Surprised Super Bowl winning speeches aren’t “First off, none of this would be possible if it wasn’t for our great military defending us and allowing us the privilege to play football”

By aka Espi Go To PostDon’t they get paid to promote it?I didn't realize just how much money the military and the government give to NFL and sports in general. It's practically a recruiting tool.

By Pac-12 Go To PostIf only NFL contracts weren't torn to shreds before the ink even dries
His signing bonus is going to be crazy (in NFL sensibility). A dude with Mahomes' leverage can guarantee a contract like no other player in the league.

it's going to be interesting in terms of conditionals
Schefter also tweeted that his contract is supposed to be a percentage of the salary cap, meaning if for some reason the NFL salary cap has a huge raise he won’t be underpaid like Pippen was with his Bulls contract
Somehow my guy got the stability a longer contract like this offers, with none of the downsides.
I haven’t really watched the NFL outside of the SuperBowls since Eagles won but this dude must make Tom Brady look like Ryan Leaf to get a contract like that

the question is how do you pay out the correct amount in guarantees up front without knowing the future
He’s already the face of the league and the best player
Won your franchise it’s first super bowl ever I think
Crazy marketable
Electrifying playstyle
And by all accounts a solid humble dude
You hand him the check and tell him to pay himself how much he wants
I’d be surprised if like 75% of whatever cap arrangement They came up with isn’t guaranteed money

The Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have reached agreement on a 10-year contract extension worth $450 million that ties him to Kansas City through the 2031 season, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The injury guarantee in the contract is $140 million, a source told Schefter.
Bro, damn. The guarantee is still shit, though. I wonder if there's a larger, non-injury guarantee.
Gawd DAMN. Props to mahomes. by far the best qb in the league and it's not close (also fuck you for beating us the superbowl.)
Contract has the Ravens prepared to make Lamar the leagues only black owner if he can get us a ring in the next two years.
DeSean... WTF?
DeSean Jackson posted anti-Semitic messages on his Instagram story on Monday evening."See, it's not that I don't believe all men are created equal, I just think some are more equal that others..."
Jackson later claimed he has no hatred toward the Jewish community after he shared a quote he attributed to Adolf Hitler, saying "[white Jews] will blackmail America" and "[They] will extort America, their plan for world domination won't work if the Negroes know who they were." He also shared two posts expressing admiration for Louis Farrakhan, later claiming they were taken "the wrong way." There was no right way to take them. The team is expected to publicly address the issue Tuesday afternoon.
Eagles released an official statement regarding DeSean Jackson's anti-Semitic messages on his Instagram.
"We are continuing to evaluate the circumstances and will take appropriate action" the organization announced in a press release issued Tuesday afternoon. The full statement can be viewed in the link below. Jackson also offered a video apology for the quotes, stating he does "not have hatred towards anyone" and "didn’t realize what this passage was saying." This matter is far from resolved.

you didn't need hindsight to simply shrug at the idea of moving past a game manager like Alex Smith
such a bad take
