June mini-camp?

nzyme : 5/29/2020 9:44 am
Have we heard anything on the June mini-camps from the Giants? I read the directive from the NJ Governor so I'm assuming we are good to go on that?
There may not be a June mini camp

or not one that we are familiar with.

A lot of things still have to happen. Remember there are players all over the country. They need to get there (some may not be comfortable with flying yet).

There has to be established guidelines and testing schedules that need to be approved by both the League and Players association.

Plus according to the agreement June mini camp cant be later than June 27th. That may be too soon to get everything in place. Teams do not even have full capacity with no players and coaches yet.

I do not expect any football till Summer camp in July.

NFL is going in stages

They seem to control or at least influence most major decisions these days.
June of 2021?

I'm beginning to hear concert tours promoting dates for next June. College football is still very much a question mark in 2020.

the most likely course of action is the NFL and the players agreeing to push back mandatory mini camps and allow training camps to open a week early. gives them another 6 weeks to get set up. Would require negotiation but its in both parties best interest.

This is what I was thinking.

the virus is driving the decisions. Once they figure out how 100+ individuals can be in close quarters with each other, with no protective equipment, and virtually eliminate the chance for transmission of the virus, we will be good to go. The media, as pathetic as they are, doesn’t control that.

Dave, I know ... and I really appreciate the complexity of the problem facing both the league and the teams ... but I also know every swinging dick in the media, on all sides are going to offer an opinion on whatever decisions ... looking for clicks and the inevitable ‘ i told you so’s’. Virtually the entire fourth estate is a nightmare these days.

If you want to have a REAL conversation then maybe that viewpoint might change. Read Edward Bernays Propaganda. You will realize what's going on.
