Falcons Reject Richardson Demand For Three Game Guarantee
Atlanta Falcons official Norb Hecker rejected defensive back Jerry Richardson's demand for a three game guarantee for the 1968 season. Richardson, a four year veteran, said he would seek a trade or release if not guaranteed. He argued activation for at least three games is needed for NFL pension eligibility and aimed to move before September cuts. Separately, Japanese skindivers plan to host the eighth World Underwater Fishing Championships off the Donin Islands in September 1969, known as the Blue Olympics.
