Eagles’ A.J. Brown Calls for NFL to Eliminate ‘Monday Night Football’ Games
Count Philadelphia eagles wide beneficiary A.J. Brown among those who’d like to not play on Monday Night Football.
As a matter of fact, with the Hawks falling off a 20-17 misfortune to the Seattle Seahawks this previous Monday, Brown is requiring the end of Monday night games completely, and his thinking seems OK.
“Since it’s brief time frame and afterward just after the game you just have a specific measure of time only for your body to recuperate, and it speeds up the interaction, and that adds … mileage with training,” Brown told DraftKings on Thursday. ” As a result, it gets harder. The Monday night games, I think, they shoulda took [them] out. I know it’s cool, everyone watching you on Monday night, yet the circle back from that point forward, it’s troublesome, particularly in the event that you leave the game somewhat beaten up.”
Brown isn’t the first (and positively won’t be the last) to transparently examine the cost that brief time frame assumes the body of a NFL player. However, the NFL is the most well-known and profitable sports league in the United States. Accordingly, the association realizes not many limits regarding putting its item on TV however much as could be expected.
The NFL has taken extraordinary measures over the course of the years to work on its guidelines to lessen the gamble of head wounds and make an intrinsically rough game more secure. However, the NFL is unlikely to eliminate non-Sunday games from its schedule, even if it means a shorter week for players who attend those games.
It’s a striking call by Brown, however one that checks out for player security. However, it probably will never occur.
