Some of the National Football League's top superstars staged a Twitter blitz on phim tam ly 18 haySunday as league brass continues to dawdle on sharing COVID-19 contingency plans for the 2020/2021 season.
The tweets started to surface on Sunday afternoon, with all of them bearing this simple hashtag: #WeWantToPlay. While the tone of the tweets varies from player to player, the overriding concern shared by all of the ones posting is summed up in the hashtag – they wantto play. They're just not sure it'll actually be safe.

The Twitter action appears to be a coordinated effort spearheaded by the NFL Player's Association. NFLPA president J.C. Tretter made it clear where the players' union stands in a statement shared on Twitter.

On of the more widely shared tweets, from Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, offers some specifics on how exactly the league is failing its players. There's been very little communication on how some of the big issues will be handled ahead of and going into the 2020/2021 season in the midst of a global pandemic.
The timing of this Twitter campaign is especially noteworthy. As Watt himself notes, some members of the league will be expected to report for training camp as early as July 20, the day after the tweet campaign kicked off.

As the hashtag started to make noise on Twitter, fans joined in with messages of support for the players and suggestions as to how the NFL might keep players safe from COVID-19. But it's the players' message that really matters.
This coordinated union effort serves the NFL with a sharp reminder: the most important people to the league's success – financial and otherwise – are the players themselves. Keeping those players in the dark on safety measures, and worse, exposing the players to unsafe working conditions isn't going to end well for anyone.
SEE ALSO: The NFL's backtracking apology forgot one thing: Colin Kaepernick.The NFL is in a trickier position for staging a mid-pandemic comeback than many of the other top U.S. sports. Not only are team organizations generally larger than they are in the NBA and MLB, American football is also more of a contact support.
That makes the question of how to keep players safe and what to do if someone is diagnosed with COVID-19 all the more pressing. Mashable reached out to the NFL for comment and we'll keep you updated on any response.
