Stopped watching NFL years ago, but they’ve been talking about this format for decades.
This isn’t some white hat operation nor would I try to spin it into one. The NFL is woke and almost all of, if not all of the owners are as elite as they come. Let them go broke by promoting woke agendas.
Organized sports NFL, MLB, NBA, NASCAR are one of the primary reasons cable bills skyrocketed during the 1990s and never stopped. The TV broadcast rights aren’t cheap. It’s yet another tax (or was before cord cutting) on regular citizens to make those in control mega wealthy. Even if you didn’t watch sports you couldn’t “opt out” of channels like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and ESPN who got bigger cuts of the cable bill than that of independent channels. But now independents (Food Network, Bravo, etc) hardly exist independently because they all got bought up by the major three players or are subsidiaries of them.
This is why 'revenue sharing broadcast rights' has been pursued by every player's union that has popped up in e-sports. All of the team owners know this is where the big money lies.
