Simple…. The NFL PA (players union) didn’t want to add games. They swapped a pre season game for a regular season game. Same number overall, but more lucrative (more TV money).
Football is a violent sport where they have already pushed the limit on how many games their bodies will take.
Do you think the NFL owners and players agreed to make changes for the significance of the number 17 or money?
