Kemp Urges Pro Football to Solve Its Own Problems
Former Bills quarterback and congressman Jack Kemp told NFL owners and players at the Pro Football Writers dinner that congressional action is not the answer to pro football disputes. He warned the crisis could draw lawmaking attention unless internal solutions emerge, noting 20 to 25 bills pending in Congress on sports issues. Kemp highlighted internal issues such as the option clause, artificial turf, and firing players, stressing unity between players and owners and that changes should come from within the sport. The remarks followed Ed Garvey’s briefing of owners. upcoming meetings aimed to discuss constitutional and rule changes, including how ties are scored and ball possession in sudden-death situations.
