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

NFL fans have been patiently awaiting the release of the 2024 season schedule, which was delayed to May 15 earlier this week. But on Thursday night, we discovered that a potential media rights deal between the NFL and Netflix could be the reason for the delay.
Boomer Esiason first floated out the possibility of Netflix getting into the live-streaming business with the NFL on his WFAN radio show on Wednesday, predicting that Netflix could potentially be on the verge of purchasing the rights to the NFL’s set of games on Christmas Day.
According to John Ourand of Puck News, it indeed “looks like” Netflix will wind up carrying the two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day.
Ourand added that there are “some clear hurdles” that Netflix and the NFL have ahead of them to complete this potential deal, but that they are reportedly the “likely winner” in the potential sweepstakes for the rights to the holiday games.
It’s hard to ignore how his potential deal comes on the heels of Netflix’s live comedy special, The Roast of Tom Brady, earlier this month, which drew two million viewers on its release date on Sunday.

This is fricking retarded. Spreading games across multiple streaming sites just makes it harder and more expensive for the consumer. NFL can suck a dick for this one.

Yup. But they're going to do it until TV revenue drops, and somehow it's never slowed down no matter what kind of horse shite they pull so far.

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”.

It can't be good for the ratings, either. I'm an average fan, and watch a lot of games even if I don't care about the game itself. I like flipping around during slow times or commercial breaks. The games on Amazon this past season were the worst. I only watched a little bit of them. The quality of the games weren't worth the first-world problem and hassle of switching between services to watch those games. Either up the quality of the game on the streaming service, or keep it to the OTA/cable channels where your bread and butter is.

If it’s on Netflix then it shouldn’t have commercials.

Same. Did not care for being stuck on a streaming platform and unable to flip channels. And the quality was not better.

Conference USA was so ahead of its time a few years ago when games aired on about 12 different networks

Pac 12 did the same thing. They thought by owning and broadcasting their own games, they would have suitors lining up to buy the rights to their content and show them on 100 different platforms like Netflix, Apple, Amazon, etc.
It did not work....

Why can't we just get the ability to watch multiple games that are simultaneously occurring across multiple networks without having to pay for NFL Sunday Ticket?
These one off games on random streaming platforms is maddening.
