The NFL disputed a report Monday that claimed several league employees skipped a long line at a state-partnered COVID-19 testing location in New York.
A Gothamist report on Monday claimed that several NFL employees were allowed to skip the line at the midtown Manhattan testing site, something that sparked “outrage among the 100 or so people huddled in the cold" outside in line. A testing site employee “confirmed that they were instructed to give priority” to NFL employees, according to the report.
On Monday night, the NFL said that the five employees who visited the BioReference test center did not skip the line.
