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 thought Netflix was the only streamer making profits?

:rolleyes:

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.

If they got a billlion $? Let’s talk!

/NFL

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

If Taylor Swift's attending it makes it's more likely the game will be scheduled for the Chiefs

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!

You were right by golly! Like I have said numerous times, the greed of the NFL has no limits.

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!

Did you watch Cuties?

I saw clips that showed not snippets of the exploitation, but way too long “examples” that just looked like further exploitation.

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

Exploitation? Lol

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

That would be pretty sweet.

At least the Lions are competitive now. 20 years of growing up watching the Lions on Thanksgiving was excruciating.

And what would you call it?

I don't know, I never watched it. It seems unlikely that Netflix would knowingly air the sexual exploitation of children, but I don't doubt a few cherry-picked clips could make it seem like they did.

LMAO So you’re mocking me when you haven’t even seen it yourself? That’s rich. Tell you what, go read through the reviews on IMDB of those who did watch it and then get back to me.

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

No need. If a Chiefs game is shown on Netflix, I'm watching it even if "Cuties" is straight up child porn.

In B4 old guys complain

Oh, wait, too late

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

Inb4 young guys sign up for Peacock and download 20 other apps that they will hardly ever use.

Oh wait, too late.

:mad: As a representative old man on here, I must say I've never heard of Cuties until today.

We have Netflix, but I couldn't tell you what was the last movie I watched. We have it primarily for the grandkids to watch their cartoons.

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 Christmas Day teams will be playing on the previous Saturday as well so that could work in the Chiefs favor.

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.

Just in Germany and the UK there are 32 mil NFL fans combined. Any streaming site that has international access would be stupid to not try and get games on their platform. The NFL is exploding in Europe.

It's because every god damn network has a streaming option, so to get the shows you want to watch you are paying pretty much cable/satellite prices because you have to get 5 different streaming services. It's stupid. Another stupid thing is that most of these companies lose money due to their streaming services, but are too ****ing stubborn to just group up with each other and have 1 big service.

Putting it on Netflix does not make it a global event. I would almost guarantee it will be limited to the US.

It'd catching on in Brasil. Soccer mecca. Still is but they are watching American football too.

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.

Ironic, since success in soccer appears to rely as much on chance as it does skill or strategy.

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.

When I was traveling around the world(it was decades ago), they just didn't get it and considered it boring. I'd come back with BORING? You ever watch soccer? ;)

Exactly. Continuous play does not equal entertainment.

I did not pay $5 to sign up for Peacock.

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:

Its not all about getting the immediate impact of new subscribers, its also elevating your platform.

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.

Do I think I can stop it? No.

But I can choose not to participate.

I once followed the KC Sacramento Kings as an avid fan and they lost me. Now I'm a casual post season viewer.

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.

Already had it
We use it
We split the costs with the in laws
Hell, we've had Netflix for about 15 years

Yeah, you watching clips and reading imdb reviews doesn't give you any room to talk. Full disclosure, I haven't seen it, but boycotting a potential Chiefs because of out of context clips is weird behavior. That said, you can just follow the game thread here on CP for a rational and even handed account of the action!

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?

Also a question from 1990:

What's a DVD?

I just cannot deliver a joke correctly.

Sorry bro, you were only a decade off.

Fine. At least its not Paramount WTF!?

I’ve at least researched it, he clearly hasn’t. I’m kind of suspecting you haven’t either. If someone wants to call me out on my take CREDIBLY, it should probably be someone who has watched it. Calling me out on my opinion when having not watched it yourself doesn’t carry the weight you seem to think it does.

Lame as ****...and have Netflix

I read an interview with the director and read an article from Villanova law breaking down the claims of exploitation and the content of the film. More than enough to convince me this is a non-issue. I admit I didn't read any imdb reviews, though.

There is a city park in Texarkana, AR that still has a Redbox drop box.

I’m not even joking.

Can you imagine buying Netflix stock as DVD at homes was becoming obsolete? It was worthless stock. You could get it for $50 in 2013. Now it’s up over $600.
