Netflix likely getting NFL Christmas games
First it was Nickelodeon, then Paramount. Now Netflix

Surprised Netflix hasn't gone out of business yet. They can throw cash around like that?

I know, let's put every game on a different, monthly subscription pay service.
Maybe they could bundle it with the history channel and basket weaving. |

Chiefs were on Christmas Day last year so hopefully that minimizes their chances of being part of this.

Feels like the Chiefs are about due for a Thanksgiving game.

I told everyone this would happen! I told you! I said, "If you pay that $5 for Peacock, then in five years you're going to have to buy subscriptions to 760 different networks to watch games." And now it's happening. It's happening!

I’m ok with the games being televised on Netflix because I already have a subscription. It’s Peacock I have a problem with.
|
The cost of practice squad players's private jet pilots are soaring, have a heart

I have been boycotting Netflix since that Cuties program. The reason for that boycott is strong enough I’ll miss a Chiefs game over it if it comes to that.
|
I'm bothered about Cuties too. Did you know that Cuties are not a specific type of mandarin, but just a marketing name. Depending on the time of year, they may be mandarins, murcotts, tangos, or clementines. Halos have the same issue. How is the consumer supposed to know what they are getting. It's a bamboozlement!

Probably won't watch. Most NFL prime time games last year were absolute trash

I'm trying to grow Cuties but they're getting too much water, not enough sun and are nearly dead
|
I'll listen to it on the radio before I give Netflix a dime. I already had Peacock to watch EPL.
|
Thankfully the wife watches enough pillowbitergy shows on Netflix that we are subscribed so I don’t care. But I’m sure next year they’ll have games exclusively on the LGBTQ channel and app. I’ll borrow big bills login when that time cums

I'm wondering if that will happen in 2025 when KC travels to Dallas again |
Quote:
At least the Lions are competitive now. 20 years of growing up watching the Lions on Thanksgiving was excruciating. |

Why don’t you both go watch Cuties today and then come back and have a nice discussion about it?

Netflix I don't have a problem with since everyone and their mother seems to have it but that peacock shit is stupid.

These billionaires can see the value of their teams skyrocket if its an international game. The revenue increase will make the players happy and open up new endorsements. Anyone that thinks they can stop this by boycotting a streamer game are not in reality.
Netflix and its international audience the first shot across the bow. The game no longer belongs to America exclusively anymore. |

The NFL may be hesitant to take the Chiefs out of the Sunday/Monday rotation back to back weeks… and from all of the National TV windows during those dates. |
Streaming service started out a awesome, now it's turned into cable's reeruned bastard child.

The whole hold up with American football was the soccer fans use to the "action" never stopping. They found it boring. They didnt understand there was strategy involved, putting players on the field to best execute that obe play. Now some of their fellow soccer fans are explaining it to them, they are giving American football a second look. It aint hurting that its a passing game these days. |
Time to sail the high seas.
Arrr..... |
I hate it when an item I purchased is broken and I find out it is under almost guarantee instead of normal guarantee.

If the goal here is for Netflix to get new subscribers, this could maybe not help them as much with that objective.
Lots of people travel and spend Christmas with family/friends… so they could watch the games on someone else’s existing Netflix subscription, rather than having to sign up if they were watching it by themselves. |

I was already subscribing to YouTube TV which had NFL network so I waited until midnight to watch the rebroadcast on NFL network. So no, they didn't get any additional money from me that they didn't already have. Just like I was already Amazon Prime before they got the Thursday games. And I won't sign up to Netflix even to watch the Chiefs on Xmas. I'm part of the solution not part of the problem. :harumph: :harumph: :harumph: |

Check the layouts made by the broadcast channels in the 70's/80's. They barely broke even or made little profit. It was about having football on their platform. |

I used to watch every Jayhawk basketball game.
But I refuse to sign up for ESPN+, so I no longer watch every game. |
Illegal streams will become more and more common.
I REALLY enjoy the fact that Netflix pays the NFL a shitload to stream a few games, then charges for advertising on top of their monthly rate, thus double-dipping. I mean, that's an amazing deal for the daily viewer. :facepalm: |
The cable bundle was the best thing for sports fans.

Question from 1990:
Will the game come on a DVD and when I've watched it I need to put the disc in the provided envelope and drop it in the mail? |
Quote:
What's a DVD? |
I just cannot deliver a joke correctly.
