Last-Minute Hall of Fame Game Fumble May Be Costly

Abstract

This year NFL fans were forced to wait an extra week after the NFL canceled the 2016 game out of safety concerns that resulted from mismanaged field construction. Several NFL analysts and former players applauded the league’s judgment in canceling the game out of player safety concerns. Not surprisingly, though, fans were not as pleased with the league’s seemingly last-minute decision to cancel the game.
