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.

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.

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.

Netflix and its international audience the first shot across the bow. The game no longer belongs to America exclusively anymore.

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.

The cable bundle was the best thing for sports fans.

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

Oh wait, too late.

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’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.
