美国足球联盟拒绝接受熊队的两次选秀, 因为他们聘请了前总经理伊恩·坎宁汉. NFL denies Bears two draft picks for hiring former GM Ian Cunningham.

美国国家橄球联盟拒绝了芝加哥熊队的上诉,要求他们在亚特兰大猎队聘请前助理总经理Ian Cunningham后进行两次补偿性第三轮选秀. The NFL has denied the Chicago Bears' appeal for two third-round compensatory draft picks following the hiring of former assistant general manager Ian Cunningham by the Atlanta Falcons. 联盟裁定坎宁汉不符合足球主管的定义,因为马特·瑞安拥有这个头,尽管卡宁汉在足球运营中的角色. The league ruled that Cunningham does not meet the definition of a Primary Football Executive, as Matt Ryan holds that title, despite Cunningham's role in football operations. 熊队认为,根据多样性政策, 这位雇员应该得到补偿, 但NFL确认这一决定是最终的. The Bears argued the hire deserved compensation under diversity policies, but the NFL confirmed the decision is final.
