For NFL fans, training camp signals the start of a corner being turned in the offseason.
The weeks leading to training camp can seem long and daunting, and many are begging for the season to begin.
However, when training camp begins, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
A recent Tweet from Dov Kleiman has reminded NFL fans about a moment from training camp in 2022.
In this video of a combined practice between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, Aaron Donald struck a Bengals player with a helmet.

This caused a fight to break out between the two teams, leading to a strong reaction among fans of both organizations.
When Kleiman shared this tweet, fans re-hashed their original reactions, along with coming up with some new takes on the situation.
great idea @NFL sure let’s have the bengals and rams have a joint practice after they just played in the super-bowl I will never understand it till this day. https://t.co/T8UXq46aAx

Looking back on it, it probably wasnt a good idea to hold a joint practice with 2 teams that just played in a Superbowl.

As these two fans point out, joint practices can generally be a place for contention.
This is especially true of two teams who had just faced off in the Super Bowl, and the Rams were the victor.
This event could serve as a cautionary tale for the future, as the league could limit joint practices in the future.
While these two fans seem to be advocates of non-violence in the future, other fans expressed differing opinions.

These two fans are very excited about this year’s training camps.
It appears that they are looking forward to more chaos and looking for similar levels of animosity between organizations.
Will any joint practices in 2023 yield another stressful, potentially dangerous situation for the league to monitor?
