At the end of March, the league office had work to do so that the owners had behind the idea of lending active players to the football of the Olympic flag. The NFL did it, then some.
PFT confirmed that the vote on the resolution allowing active players to participate in the tournament adopted with a 32-0 vote.
According to a source with a knowledge of the vote, the unanimous result occurred during the first ballot, not by the non -immeasurating system to hold a second vote for public relations purposes aimed at creating the impression that everyone was on the same wavelength.
Anyway, it seems that not everyone was on the same wavelength. But with a maximum investment of a team player (plus the international team player), the League was able not only to reach 24 votes but also to create a unified front.
Hell, even the owner of the Bengals, Mike Brown – who often votes not when everyone votes yes – was with the “Ayes”.
There is still a lot of work to do. And many questions to answer. But the league decided that the export of active players to the Olympic Games is advancing the greatest greatest.
I mean the greatest good. (No, I don’t do it.)
