I'm wondering if there is going to be a backlash from the fantasy industry?

48 hours between the end of one week and the start of the next doesn't leave much time for things like waiver claims. I could also see interest in daily fantasy going down with such a tight turnaround between weeks.

But remember, it's about "player safety" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
ding ding ding..

this move if any signifies to the players that the league gives zero f-'s about their health and well being. They are "overpriced assets" to the league. Why should the league care though?? They shouldn't. Why? Because in the end there's a bunch of college players or UDFA eager and wanting to make those milllions $$$$ behind every injured player and behind every backup.

The only question is --- will you watch? The only thing that matters is where your eyeballs are pointed. That's all the league and the networks care about.

I'm sure people will in large numbers, but I genuinely have no interest. I miss the gradual buildup to Sundays with MNF being the one special game. TNF already ruined that.

Probably will have the fans of the teams playing will watch. Outside interests, probably not as they have more important things to do like work and preparing for the next day or the rest of the week. Fantasy will take a hit. Boards will take a hit on parleys. Players will be rotating in by the week and they may have to add players. A bad draft year is gonna be more common. And the commercials are gonna be atrocious.

Say one thing, then do the other

“We are concerned about player health and safety” , Right, sure thing.
