Maybe they could just bar the Bears from practicing while the Redskins are at the funeral.

That's a GREAT idea!
Although, I don't know if the league could actually "BAR" them from practicing. After all....the BEARS didn't do anything that would require a disciplinary act such as barring them from anything.
However, there are two scenarios here. If the BEARS win Sundays game, against the GIANTS, they will typically have Monday "OFF" anyway. And, I would imagine that there may even be many of them
there at the funeral, as would a lot of other players from around the league. If for any other reason then just to show support....and respect.
Which brings me to my second point.....they will probably be
there to show support and respect. Therefore, there would be no reason for the league to enforce such a "bar".
And, mostly.....
I wouldn't think that the BEARS, or any other team really, would use a time like this to claim an "Upper Hand" against an opponent.
There are times when we all play a team that has come off a short week. But this is way different.
That would be pretty sh*tty, in my opinion....and a very unfair advantage.
I don't think the fans in Chicago would look at that very favorably.
(Although.......I wouldn't put it past Belicheat. LOL)
I
am going to start planting that seed on my board, however.
I think it's a great idea. And the least we can do.
