Well, what about zero games!
That’s not my point at all and straw man arguments are often a device to end a discussion.
I think adding an extra game runs counter to claims by owners and players that they are concerned about CTE and long-term health issues. I am somewhat surprised the union agreed to it.
More games means the players can get bigger contracts. That is why the players union would agree to it.
