The possibility that the NFL could expand its schedule to 17 games per season is an idea that owners and the NFL Player’s Association are becoming increasingly comfortable with.
The possibility that the NFL could expand its schedule to 17 games per season is an idea that owners and the NFL Player’s Association are becoming increasingly comfortable with.
CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reports that “momentum is growing,” with team owners specifically. With 17 games, the CBS Sports report explains that the fall schedule would be extended to 19 weeks with two bye weeks.
The structure would push the Super Bowl into the final weekend of February and each team’s extra game would be pushed out of the United States. In particular, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is in favor of an eight-game London slate and international locations like Mexico, Germany and Brazil are in consideration.
The NFL has played a 16-game season for 42 seasons, only introducing a double-bye schedule during the 1993 season.
U.S. Women’s National Team stars Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger are calling for their male counterparts to get behind their push for equal pay.
U.S. Women’s National Team stars Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger are calling for their male counterparts to get behind their push for equal pay.
The USWNT received class status on Nov. 8 in its gender discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, which opens the door for any athlete who was a part of the women’s team national team camp or a game since Feb. 14, 2014, can now join the class-action suit.
But Harris and Krieger believe that in order for the equal pay fight to succeed, the members of the U.S. Men’s National Team need to be a part of the battle. In March, several of the men’s players spoke with Yahoo! Sports saying they support the women, and the USMNT players association released a statement in July which aimed to dispel a factsheet released by the U.S. Soccer Federation that claimed that the women have actually been paid more than the men.
“I think at the end of the day, we need men to step up, and we need these men to see our value and to see our worth and take a stance and say, ‘You know what? This is not okay. We need to make a change and our children need to make a change.’ And I think that is right now the (…) thing that’s missing,” Harris said, speaking to PowerPlays.news, which is a newsletter about sexism in sports which reporter Lindsay Gibbs launched in late October.
Mediation talks between US Soccer and the women broke down in August and a new trial date is set for May 2020, but Harris insists that she and the cause for equal pay needs, “boys and teenagers and adult men to really value and appreciate these women who are giving so much.”
Panthers safety Eric Reid is calling for quarterback help in Carolina from his friend, Colin Kaepernick.
Panthers safety Eric Reid thinks the Carolina Panthers could use some help at quarterback, and he happens to know a guy.
After Kyle Allen threw four interceptions in a 29-3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Reid told reporters that Colin Kaepernick could make for a good addition to the squad.
“I think we could use Colin’s help,” Reid said. “I think every team could use Colin’s help. I would definitely be excited if he were here.”
Kaepernick worked out in front of NFL executives on Saturday in Atlanta as he continues his push to return to the league. The Panthers did not send a representative to the quarterback’s workout, but Reid attended to support his former 49ers teammate.
“The goal is accomplished,” Reid said about Kaepernick’s workout. “Colin proved that he can play his game. He proved he can throw the ball. Elite, that’s what an NFL executive said.”
