Summary
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) is criticizing the NFL for announcing a Thanksgiving Eve game between the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams, which will be streamed exclusively on Netflix, requiring a paid subscription. Baldwin introduced a bill to give fans free live broadcasts of their home state’s professional sports teams and argues that the NFL is asking Wisconsinites to spend their hard-earned money on another streaming service. The NFL has announced that the game will be streamed on Netflix, and Netflix has the rights to five NFL games in 2026, including the league’s first-ever game in Australia.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Another Thanksgiving Eve game, another opportunity for the Packers to disappoint their fans. They’ve been struggling all season, and this game will likely be no different.
Sen. Baldwin is right, of course. Why should Wisconsinites have to pay for Netflix just to watch their beloved Packers play?
It’s not like the NFL is trying to make it easy for fans to watch. They’re making it hard, just to get more money out of them.
This one feels recognizable early, as fans of the Packers are already dreading the outcome of this game.
The result isn’t surprising by the end – the Packers will likely lose, and fans will be left wondering why they had to pay for Netflix to watch it.
Original Observation: The NFL is trying to squeeze every last penny out of its fans, and it’s only a matter of time before they realize they’re being taken for granted.
