Option 1:
Players go home immediately after the mandatory 3 hour film session.
Option 2:
Players mingle around, joke, play a few games of pong before heading home after the 3 hour film session.

Idk. I highly doubt pong time was replacing film or workout time. I highly doubt pong was the downfall or even in the top 100 reasons for this season.
I would guess 75% of the teams have a pong table or something similar.
The best reason to get rid of it imo .. the locker room was too damn small for it anyway.

Saints, Seahawks, falcons, Giants ...
I spent 3 mins looking for teams without a ping pong table and havent come across one yet. Sure there are articles about Saints removing them for playoffs or Steelers ... but seems like almost all teams have them. Seems like some teams remove them for certain times.
I just dont see the existence of the ping pong table having anything to do with on field communication. If anything is probably helps communication on the field as players who hang out off the field will be more open to talking on the field.
Will Blackmon talked about how when he first came to the Skins, the team was tight and hung out off the field and it made talking during games and being honest easier.

We went 3-13 and the ping pong table had 0 to do with that. I guess it makes it nice and convenient to blame Club jay and the Ping Pong table for our troubles. I mean, those are easy to fix. Fire jay and fire the pong table.
