La NFL y la NFLPA no han logrado un acuerdo en torno a los protocolos de salud y seguridad para el regreso del futbol, pero la liga sigue con sus planes de retomar los campamentos de entrenamientos de cualquier forma. Hasta ahora, los novatos deberán presentarse el 21 de julio y los jugadores veteranos el 18 de julio.
En junio, la NFL emitió un protocolo COVID-19 en relación al regreso de los equipos a sus instalaciones. Acto seguido, el entrenador de los Ravens John Harbaugh dijo que era “humanamente imposible”. A principios de este mes, la NFL envió a los equipos un memorando con los detalles de los procedimientos en los campamentos, que fueron “desarrollados en conjunto con la NFL Players Association,” según un reporte de USA TODAY Sports, pero varios de los detalles no estaban aún definidos ni finalizados.
Este domingo, muchas de las estrellas de la NFL a lo largo de toda la liga usaron sus redes sociales para pedir que la NFL anuncie las especificidades necesarias de un plan viable para volver al campo de juego. J.J. Watt presentó una larga lista de problemas, como la frecuencia de las pruebas de COVID-19, las implicaciones de un posible resultado positivo y a duda de si los jugadores con mayor riego podrán elegir contractualmente no participar en la temporada.
Once again in the interest of keeping everyone (players & fans) as informed as possible, here is an updated list of what we as players know and don’t know as the first group gets set to report to training camp tomorrow.#WeWantToPlay pic.twitter.com/xQcjs33zgM

I am concerned.
My wife is pregnant.@NFL Training camp is about to start..And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety. 🤷🏾
We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. #WeWantToPlay

We need Football! We need sports! We need hope! The NFL’s unwillingness to follow the recommendations of their own medical experts will prevent that. If the NFL doesn’t do their part to keep players healthy there is no football in 2020. It’s that simple. Get it done @NFL

It blows my mind that the NFL is unwilling to follow the recommendations of their own experts regarding player health and safety. If we want to have a FULL season this year we need the NFL to listen to their experts! #WeWantToPlay pic.twitter.com/q55RpqRzPu

Why isn’t the NFL listening to the recommendation from their own joint committee? If we want to have a full season it will have to look different. @NFL make the necessary changes. #WeWantToPlay

If #AdamSilver can respect the voices and protect his @NBA players why can’t @NFLcommish do the same? Listen to your players. If we want to have a full season it will have to look different with OUR safety as the priority. @NFL make the necessary changes. #WeWantToPlay

The NFL continues to ignore major health and safety concerns putting the 2020 season in jeopardy. America wants to watch football and we want to play. Make the necessary changes @nflcommish #WeWantToPlay

You want to watch football this year? Us players need to remain healthy in order to make that happen. The @NFL needs to do their part in order to bring football back safely in 2020. #WeWantToPlay
