New Orleans,LA – The New Orleans Saints Stars like QB Drew Brees, Safety Malcolm Jenkins and others are opposed to reporting to training camp without safety agreements in place. The Players all took a unified stance against the NFL Mandate to report to camp while many Covid-19 safety issues haven’t been agreed upon. There has been much criticism of the NFL from players, for not hammering out safety regulations with the NFLPA on Coronavirus procedures.
Both Brees & Jenkins tweets show solidarity under the hashtag #WeWantToPlay, echoing the sentiment that players don’t feel safe until more is known about Covid-19 procedures.
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy tweeted out a statement :
“NFL clubs met today via video conference and received an update on preparations for the 2020 season. We will continue to implement the health and safety protocols developed jointly with the NFLPA, and based on the advice of leading medical experts, including review by the CDC. We will address additional issues in a cooperative way. All decisions will be made in an effort to put us in position to play a full regular season and postseason culminating with the Super Bowl which is the shared goal of the clubs and the players.”
It was also revealed that each team has submitted infectious disease emergency response plans,that were approved by NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills & the joint infectious disease experts. He added that the union also must approve before teams can have more than 20 players in buildings.
The players aired out their thoughts or concerns by tweeting:
NFL Training camps are seriously close and these are valid concerns that must be addressed before the season can get safely get underway. Please stay tuned as this is a developing story…
