America is trying to get it’s sports back…
The N.F.L.’s virtual off-season will last at least two more weeks, but teams’ coaching staffs might be cleared to return to team facilities as soon as Monday.
Commissioner Roger Goodell explained the updated reopening plans during a conference call on Thursday and expanded upon the explanation in a memo to teams that was obtained by The New York Times.
In the memo, Goodell wrote: “We expect that next week clubs will be permitted to include members of their coaching staffs among the employees permitted to resume work in the club facility. We are actively working with governors and other state and local authorities in those states that have not yet announced definitive plans and will confirm the precise date on which coaches can return to the facility as soon as possible.”
Goodell, who ordered a shutdown of team headquarters in late March, also wrote that teams could reopen ticket offices, retail shops and other “customer-facing facilities” as long as they complied with state and local guidelines. Those employees will count against the maximum number permitted — no more than 50 percent of staff at the facility, not to surpass 75 people….
