INDIANAPOLIS - The NFL cancelled symposium of rookie of the month next because of the ongoing lockout.
Spokesman for the League Greg Aiello said Tuesday that the decision was made due to "uncertainty in the issues of the work that we are confronted." and the logistical challenges of conducting symposium
"The symposium is a large complex event involving many professionals and other", he added. "In all fairness, we could not continue to maintain their commitment pending."
The symposium, which was to begin to Canton, Ohio, June 26, is designed to teach the lessons of life on football recruit, finance and their new lifestyle. Many players who crossed the symposium said that he was a first milestone in their transition to the NFL.
But with the NFL and COORS in an impasse and with both parties waiting for a court hearing on 3 June 8th Circuit Court of appeal of the United States on the legality of the current season, the event will not forward.
Teams and their conscripts were not allowed to communicate since the NFL has acquired a stay in court affirming the lockout.
The symposium would be took place in the Township, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, for the first time.
The NFL had also called on all the programs that have been scheduled for March at the Wharton and Harvard. These programs focus on financial education.
"It is clear that I am disappointed because I think that the symposium is a valuable learning and experience, link" player agent, said David Canter. One of his clients, linebacker Doug Hogue, drafted by Detroit.
"The cancellation of the symposium is part of the issue related to the inability of homeowners put forward an agreement that can be done in time so that we can return to football and the football business," said Canter. "It's very shocking and sad for all the parties concerned.".
Agent Ben Dogra, who, with partner Tom Condon represents five first round choice this year, did not expect the symposium will take place.
"The truth is, how you can cancel an event that is not supposed to happen anyway since there is a lockout, has declared Dogra." The NFL is closed for business. For example, keep a rookie symposium would not make any logic. ?
During this time, the Packers in Green Bay, only team publicly full of the League, saying that they will hold their annual shareholders meeting on 28 July at Lambeau Field, regardless of the fact that their is a new collective agreement in place.
As the NFL only publicly owned team, slaughterhouses must declare their financial results every year. Although these figures are generally made available in advance, the meeting is likely to attract more attention than usual if the lock is still in place.
The fray of night of the traditional family is scheduled for August 6 If the labor impasse is resolved.
