Now we have the air dates for the 2017 Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship: May 27, May 28, June 3 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on CBS.
Last month I made an article about Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship vs. NFL greed and World Armwrestling League wrote this about the event:

” WAL Nation:

As many of you are aware, the Pro Football Armwrestling Championships took place this weekend in Las Vegas and is scheduled to air on CBS in late May/early June. This event has come into the spotlight as the NFL is considering fines on the players for violation of their gambling policies of the NFL. We have received countless emails and calls asking about WAL’s role in the event and wish to clarify for WAL nation:

The event producers contacted WAL to request a release of rights for 3 of its contracted athletes for participation in the event. As always, when approached properly and ahead of time, WAL granted the show the rights to include Devon Larratt, Travis Bagent, and Luke Kindt as part of the production. Travis and Devon trained and coached various competitors, and we anticipate that they along with Luke will be included in the show.

WAL is not affiliated with this event but whole-heartedly supports the project, and wishes them all the best as these types of events will continue to raise the awareness of the sport.

Congratulations to WAL athletes Devon, Travis, and Luke!

WAL ”

Scroll down to watch the CBSSPORTS video and read the comments from the ESPN article.

The contest, with heavyweight and light heavyweight titles in play, took place April 5-9 and is scheduled to be broadcast on CBS on May 27-28, with the championship round shown June 3.

The NFL is considering fining more than 30 players for competing in the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship, which raised money for charity.

The event hosted at the MGM Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas raised money for the Giving Back Fund, the official NFL Players Association charity. Half of the $100,000 first prize is set to go to the charity.

Alan Brickman, who is a co-owner of Encinal Entertainment and helping to stage the event, told USA Today that the company did in fact check with the league and several months ago they “engaged with two different departments within the league and tried to strike a deal to include the NFL as a partner with the event.”

The NFL didn’t want to do that, unsurprisingly, but Brickman says he was led to believe turning off the power on any machines in the nearby area would keep the event within compliance.

However it appears that the players, who will be donating half of the $100,000 prize money to charity, may be hearing from the league about their participation, in a less than friendly manner.
