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.

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.

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?
