With the talks heating up about whether or not the NFL will eventually move to an 18-game regular season, a recent poll suggested that there is far from a consensus among fans.  An AP poll yielded results that only 27 percent of fans would favor the expansion of the regular season to 18 games, making the decision a very unclear one for NFL executives.  The debate has been raging for months now after owners made it well-known that they were strongly in favor of moving to 18 regular season games, which would yield considerably more revenue.  Some owners have even come out to say that it’s a done deal.

But fan polls and player opposition could make it far from that.  Players, who are already stretched to the max in terms of their bodies, will have an even bigger physical requirement for an 18-game regular season.  With the amount of injuries that happen in the year as is considering the violence of the game, it’s easy to understand why the players are hesitant to move to 18 games – even if they see financial compensation.  With the NFL dealing with head injuries at an unprecedented level, some have called into question the NFL’s motives for wanting to force a switch to the 18-game season.  The debate will likely rage on for a while longer as both sides attempt to come to an agreement.
