TNF flex scheduling approved despite protest from Giants’ John Mara

New York Giants co-owner John Mara once again vehemently opposed Thursday Night Football flex scheduling but despite his best effort, the measure passed on Monday evening.

The final vote was 24 owners (yes) to eight owners (no). Mara, of course, was firmly in the “no” camp alongside the New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders, Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I’m disappointed, but certainly not surprised,” Mara said, via Judy Battista.

Back in March, a reportedly “animated” Mara protested against the proposed change with NFL fans in mind.
