Translating the #WeWantToPlay posts you're seeing now: Joint medical committee recommended a 21-day acclimation period. NFL asked players to show up 2 weeks early to accomodate it; NFLPA said no. NFL shortened acclimation period to accommodate 2 preseason games. Union wants 0.

The preseason is awful and meaningless. Just get rid of it this year and let players work to get in shape and to know their teammates. That should be an easy decision for NFL. Players get much more value from practice

In texts from several prominent NFL players today right now they’re putting the odds of the season at 50-60%. Many of them are saying less confident now than they were two weeks ago. Posturing? Maybe but they clearly feel their concerns aren’t being heard

Same here, my family deserves to know that the @NFL is doing everything in their power to keep us safe. #WeWantToPlay but we need the league to follow recommendations from their own experts.

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
