Football fans are teeing off on the Cincinnati Bengals’ organization after the players ripped on the “disrespectful” treatment their families receive through the 2025 NFLPA report cards.
The NFLPA released its 2025 report cards on Wednesday. 1,695 total players participated in the survey, where they were asked to give their respective clubs a “grade” on 11 different categories.
Though Cincinnati Bengals players gave high grades to head coach Zac Taylor (A), the training staff (A-), and strength coaches (A-), they expressed great displeasure with ownership, the treatment of families and other categories.
Cincinnati received an F- grade for “treatment of families”, an “F” for the food/dining area and a “C” grade for the nutritionist/dietician. The Bengals ranked 32nd among all NFL teams in each of these categories.
Among their concerns, players graded the food freshness 5.49 out of 10. The team only supplies two meals a day, whereas 30 teams give their players three meals. Their dietician is only in the building twice a week, and the players do not get daycare for their home games. A player called the treatment of families “almost disrespectful.”
Social media wasted no time teeing off on the Cincinnati Bengals after the NFLPA report card results were published.

“Truly amazing. These Athletes rely on top-tier nutrition and guidance…. 3 meals a day should be MINIMUM. I’m willing to be some of those guys are eating 4000+ calories a day,” quipped a fan.

“How hard is it to upgrade this area ? Seems like the easiest of any category. That seems like pure laziness,” remarked a fan.
