One bit of news that came out yesterday in NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s strongly-worded letter seemed to somewhat quietly slip under the radar, and that is the fact that the league and the union agreed to further modifications to the Covid-19 addendum to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, modifications that will affect all 32 teams, and not just those who are dealing with positive cases.
The commissioners sent out a member yesterday to all 32 teams in order to provide them with something of a reminder of the necessity of complete adherence to the Covid-19 protocols, and to issue a warning that failure to comply could result in rather harsh discipline, extending so far as to reach the level of game forfeiture.
