ESPN’s Adam Schefter rips NFL for holding draft during COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to get worse before things get better, and President Trump warned the next two weeks could be very tough for all Americans.
Every sports league in the United States has shut down in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
However, the NFL is still going ahead with its draft from April 23-25. Even though it will be a virtual event, some think the NFL should postponed the event.
That includes ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, who unloaded on the league Tuesday while on “SportsCenter.”
“We all want to see the days where we have that distraction of football. But OTAs? That’s not happening,” Schefter said. “The off-season program? That’s not happening. The draft is happening only through the sheer force and determination and lack of foresight from the NFL, frankly. They are determined to put this on while there is carnage in the streets.”
