And if Netflix is in, one of the current partners will be out.
Or, at best, relegated to Sunday mornings.
If that story had stopped after the first sentence, I’d have thought that was great.
No better place than Netflix an early morning Giants vs Browns game.
Maybe Raiders vs Colts.
Titans vs Calgary Stampeders.
Whatever Netflix is charging per month has long been grandfathered into my bank statement.
I’ll be paying for Netflix until the day I die.
Which is honestly worse case scenario.
Make it a whole NFL package that you pay whatever amount of dollars for.
Now I’ve typed that sentence out in full I realize how insane that sounds.
Like somehow Netflix getting involved in football is going to be overall financially beneficial for the consumer.
But realistically, say Netflix acquires the AFC package from CBS, how would that even look?
I have so many questions about it.
Or would all Sunday afternoon AFC games be available on Netflix for everybody?
If it’s the latter, that would almost certainly be sold in a separate NFL package.
And what would it mean for Sunday Ticket?
They can’t do that right?
There’s just way too many players in the live sports TV contract business nowadays.
It’s hard to keep up with.
I’m not even sure what I should be advocating for anymore.
Or I’ll forget Thursday Night Football because Amazon Prime is off in it’s own little world.
I don’t even know what’s going on with hockey anymore.
I’m pretty sure all the games are onHBOMAX for some reason.
It’s really gotten out of control.
It’s too much.
So I guess I should be cheering against Netflix taking over NFL games?
I just can’t see a way that it wouldn’t be both more annoying and more expensive.
Like how cable used to be.
I want them to re-invent cable.
We’ve invented it before.
We can do it again.
