NFL players react strongly to league banning postgame jersey swaps

The time-honored tradition that was swapping jerseys after a hard-fought game is now over. At the very least, it’s over for the 2020 season, courtesy of this brave, new COVID-19 world.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the league has banned jersey swaps following all games in 2020.

The ban on postgame jersey exchanges was included in NFL-NFLPA game-day protocols that clubs received last night. Other notable changes for 2020:

– On-field fan seating is prohibited.

– Both teams must travel to the stadium via bus.
