Mara is aghast that his counterparts throughout the league are even considering an idea that would be so invasive to fans and so unpopular with players and coaches.
PHOENIX — In a vote that Giants co-owner John Mara described as “close,” NFL owners on Tuesday rejected a proposal that would have allowed the league to flex Sunday games to Thursday night in the 2023 season.
“I am adamantly opposed to that,” Mara said Tuesday in the lobby of the Arizona Biltmore, where the NFL meetings are being held. “Flexible scheduling, as it is, is really inconsiderate to our season-ticket holders and the people who fill our stadiums every week. People have gotten used to going from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night [when a game is flexed]. That doesn’t mean that they like it.
Telling a team 15 days in advance that its Sunday game was now going to be played on Thursday would be difficult for players and coaches.He also said he cannot fathom how owners who voted in favor of the flex-scheduling can look their season-ticket holders in the eye. The one compromise by the owners is that teams can now be scheduled for two Thursday night games in one season.He said injury data shows one Thursday night game in a season does not increase chances of injury for players.
