🏈🏈 More News From the NFL: Preseason Might Be Reduced 🏈🏈

🏈🏈🏈🏈

 

           
One thing that I rarely like to talk about in sports are things that remind me too much of the real world. After all, sports is a form of entertainment, a chance to escape the pressures of the world, and of one’s life, at least for a couple of hours or so.           

Yet sometimes, you need to pay attention. That is true when there are athletes who engage in very despicable, even criminal, behavior. Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Vick come to mind, to say nothing of Aaron Hernandez or OJ Simpson.           

However, there are power plays going on in the NFL right now between the league and the players union.           

Not long ago, I reported that the NFL had gotten a new playoff format. As it turns out, that was not necessarily the case, because the union is apparently challenging that, and the courts might rule in their favor.           

So we shall see.           

Still, the NFL has the ability to do one thing: reduce the preseason, and apparently, they are seriously considering doing just that.           

Indeed, the preseason might be reduced to just three games, instead of the present format of four games for most teams, except for the two teams that play in the Hall of Fame Game, held in Canton, Ohio each year, which basically kicks off the NFL preseason every year.           

Both the NFL and the players would lose money, and it is not a certainty whether or not the NFL will go ahead and do this.           

Interesting. Let’s see what happens.
