NFL Players’ union stands against 18-game season, declares expansion a no-go for athletes
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) strongly opposes the idea of an 18-game regular season, citing concerns about player health and recovery time. NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell and other players argue that even the current 17-game schedule is taxing. Although NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and several team owners support the expansion, significant discussions and concessions are needed for any changes.
