NFL Restricts Players Wishing to Attend Church Services

[carolinarider09]

A deal reached by the National Football Leauge and the NFL Players Association bans players from attending any indoor church services that are above 25 percent capacity, multiple sources told NBC Sports on Saturday.

Alongside its restrictions on attending worship services, the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) also prohibits players from attending indoor nightclubs and bars (except for take-out), indoor concerts, professional sports games, and indoor parties that include 15 or more people.

The deal has not been publicly released, but NBC Sports made no mention of any restrictions on attending protests. Meanwhile, the NFL’s Twitter account has been sharing and celebrating pictures of players engaging in protests around the country.

Verified on at least two other reasonably accurate websites. 

Just thought you all would like to know.

Maybe the protests were only at 25% capacity???

I remember in HS football, the coach didn't want anyone on the team playing hockey.

There was no way to enforce it, but if you came in with a broken or twisted ankle, there were questions.

I got benched from starting (only) one game because someone ratted me out for attending a wild party and drinking alcohol and kissing my girl.  I was pretty sure the rat was the 2d string tailback.  One quarter of him and the coach sent me back in for the rest of the game. 

I was not dissuaded from parties and alcohol and kissing my girl one bit. 

I never drank anything but water during the games though.
