Popular Post David Harris Posted January 9 Popular Post Share Posted January 9 NFL is a whore. I'll be boycotting this. Fans Rightfully Crush NFL and NBC for Putting AFC Playoff Game Exclusively on Peacock (msn.com) The NFL playoffs start this coming weekend and there’s one thing fans of all teams can agree on—it stinks that the NFL and NBC will be airing an AFC playoff game exclusively on Peacock. That’s right, if you want to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play either the Pittsburgh Steelers or Miami Dolphins, you’ll have to subscribe to Peacock to see the game. The NFL has been getting into the streaming business the past few years, but this is the first time fans will have to pay extra to see a playoff game. And there’s a reason for that—money. 20 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL to fans… “You want Thursday Night Football? Add the NFL Network to your cable package. uh wait… better yet, cut the cord and make that Amazon Prime instead.” “Black Friday game sounds great, doesn’t it? Apple says hello!” Playoff game on Saturday night? Sounds great…. “Cool. Sign up for Peacock!” It sucks, but it’s 2024, you’re paying more than you should for everything. Cough up your $6.00 and stop whining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am privileged enough to be able to spare the $6. Sure. Capitalism means you need to provide value to build value. Peacock does not provide any value whatsoever. It's just NBC on a different platform, and is completely unnecessary, other than for them to promote their platform. I won't be a part of that. It screws over people who don't have the access to even stream (yes, those people exist outside of your privileged world). Me, I'm privileged enough that I have better things to do with my time than to spend additional money for a wild card game littered with promos for a pop star in the luxury box. We all already pay a fraction of our TV bills to NBC. Where's the discount they're offering in exchange for the football game they are no longer offering on that platform? They can go pound sand. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely terrible. I imagine the numbers will be pretty bad. Saturday night has to be the lowest rated day/time already, given people go out Saturday nights. And I'm sure many don't want to entice the NFL into having exclusive games on multiple different services on a regular basis. It'd be really annoying. If you're a KC or fish fan... fine I understand paying and watching. Anyone else should enjoy a Saturday night out instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphtrilogy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The market will dictate where this goes in the future, interesting test case with loading this game with KC, the analytics download of new subscribers and total eyeballs are going to be analyzed big time. I think this product is so watered down and pretty lousy these days with all these flags and injuries that they are near the max with folks just not caring much anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took the game away from you and moved it to a platform you aren't currently paying for. But don't worry, you'll make up the money in a commercial-free 4th quarter! Think of all the insight you can get from Collinsworth during those game breaks! 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
