Richard Sherman, Deshaun Watson Rip The NFL Over Banning Postgame Jersey Exchanges (TWEETS)

I think it’s safe to say that players are not happy with the league.

One of the most popular ways NFL players have begun showing their respect for their opponents is the post-game jersey swap. That won’t be allowed during the 2020 season and a few players are not happy about it as well as with other things.

The NFL and NFL Players Association sent some game-day health and safety protocols to teams on Wednesday night, and included among them was a ban on postgame jersey exchanges.

NFL teams will be forbidden from postgame interactions within 6 feet of each other and jersey exchanges between players will be prohibited during the 2020 season, sources say.

Another way the NFL will look different in the COVID-19 world.

San Francisco 49ers star Richard Sherman took to Twitter and mocked the league.

This is a perfect example of NFL thinking in a nutshell. Players can go engage in a full contact game and do it safely. However, it is deemed unsafe for them to exchange jerseys after said game. ??? https://t.co/fWefsUSVDc

So have you ever played in a professional football game before? So you don’t think when you get tackled sweat and saliva isn’t there? Or during timeouts or in a huddle or in between plays guys aren’t talking to each other face to face? I need better facts to get it? https://t.co/8zbRq17zZ7
