First of all, there might not even be football next year. Even if there isn't, an 18-game season is being considered, and there is more than a small chance it will happen in the near future. After all, the NFL season is significantly shorter than baseball's or basketball's, so why not? Well, the players' union makes the point injuries will increase with the number of games. Today, the union sent a counter-proposal to the league's plan, saying roster size should increase by 3-4 players, and for mandatory preseason workouts/training camp to be decreased. Also, they call for raised salary, which seems practical, even if they are among the highest-paid in the world.
The fan would really have no problem with the increased season, more football could only be good, right? Maybe a few would be annoyed by the change in player stats, but there is no real issue there. For the owners and execs, this is obviously for increased profit alone. They aren't the ones throwing their bodies around every week. Whatever happens, the plan to increase the season seems probable.
I've been incredibly busy lately and haven't written in five weeks, but I can guarantee there will be a new post early this week and regularly after that.
