It’s full steam ahead for thelater this month, and opinions are mixed on whether the league is hitting the right note. Bleacher Report’s Adam Lefkoe : “I’m taken aback at the brashness of the NFL right now. … The NFL is literally the only entity right now that’s like, ‘It’s business as usual. By the way the schedule comes out May 9th, buy season tickets.’ It’s crazy.” Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson felt fan reception would be more positive if owners had done more to support the fight against the pandemic: “For the NFL placing itself in the stance that it does, it has not come together collectively and said here’s something that we are going to do.” (The league says the draft broadcast will include a major philanthropic component). Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd argued the league is giving sports fans a welcome distraction amid trying times: “They’re not seeking perfection. … What they’re doing with the Draft is strength and optimism over doomsday. … The Draft is the most optimistic five, six, seven-day stretch the NFL season has.”
