The NFL has canceled next month's rookie symposium because of the ongoing lockout. League spokesman Greg Aiello said the decision was made because of "the uncertainty of the labor issues we are facing and the logistical challenges of conducting the symposium." "The symposium is a large, complex event involving many professionals and others," he added. "In fairness, we could not continue to keep their commitment on hold." The symposium, which was to begin in Canton, Ohio, on June 26, is designed to teach rookies life lessons on dealing with football, finances and their new lifestyle.
