re: Netflix expected to close on deal to host NFL Christmas Day games

I’ll say that this is a mistake for another reason too.

Traditionally, Thanksgiving (and what I think they’re trying to push with Christmas) are days where families gather round to celebrate and throw the games on for everyone to watch afterwards. IE, they’re marketed toward a wider audience. Having them on traditional over the air broadcasts makes more sense.

I guess the idea now is “oh, we better subscribe to Netflix because people will want to come over and watch the game”.
