The NBA Christmas Day games have been pretty great.

The Knicks come back in the opening game was great, and the Spurs going into OKC and controlling the tempo for a double digit win was exactly what I wanted to happen.

I don't care about Dallas vs Oakland TBH

Anyway, Merry Christmas everybody

1. Good.

Unfortunately for the NBA, the NFL decided to take their big day.

2. I've heard that the the Netflix broadcasts are poor quality

And the games themselves are pretty lame.

Good.

I'm glad.

The NFL is the GOP of sports - Greedy, shortsighted, incompetent and run by shitty billionaires who would happily steal the last nickel from a starving man

3. All of that is true. Dallas is still a big draw.

The NFL has never won anything in court as fas as I know. Al Davis took them for 10’s of millions of dollars and they actually lost a suit to Trump ($4).

4. Loved the Lions halftime show.

5. I'll check it out on YouTube

My Wisconsinite in laws were happy Detroit lost, but i had a no football day.

6. I'd Be Happy If The NBA Takes The TV Day Back

But, with the next few Christmas days happening on days the NFL already plays, they won't go down without a fight.
I still don't get the Netflix decision. As big as Netflix is, way more people can access the networks and ESPN.
Netflix has 89 million subscribers.
ESPN, when including the streaming service has 10 million more than that.
The networks all have reach into 120 million households or more.
Seems like the NFL willfully excluded 10s of millions of potential viewers.
