In a recent report released by the NFL Players Association, it has been revealed that the Cincinnati Bengals are once again facing criticism for their treatment of players’ families. This marks the second year in a row that the Bengals have been ranked at the bottom of the league in this area.

According to the players’ union, the Bengals are the only team in the NFL that does not offer daycare or a family room during home games. This lack of support has not gone unnoticed by players, with one player even calling the situation “almost disrespectful.”

The Bengals received a failing grade of F- in this aspect, with players rating the postgame family area at a low 4.69 out of 10. Additionally, the team was reported to rarely organize events for families, further highlighting their deficiencies in this area.

This is not the first time the Bengals have faced criticism for their treatment of families. Last year, players voiced their desire for better facilities, including a warmer space for families to gather and daycare services for their children during game days. Despite these concerns being raised previously, the team has failed to make significant improvements.

On a slightly more positive note, the Bengals did see an improvement in their overall ranking in the NFLPA survey, moving up from No. 26 to No. 24. While the team received positive scores in areas such as coaching, team travel, and training staff, they continue to struggle in providing adequate food and dining options, as well as meeting the needs of players’ families.

It is evident that the Bengals still have work to do in ensuring that players and their families feel valued and supported. Hopefully, these findings will serve as a wake-up call for the organization to prioritize the well-being of their players and their loved ones in the future seasons.
