They're gonna have a full schedule that Xmas Saturday
Just checked the scores a team scored 2 pts lol this the Christmas nfl yall want
NFL fans don't get brainwashed like SEC fans thinking only close games with brand names are worth watching.
Bu-bu-but the NBA used to be special back when.....
The NBA put out 4-5 quality games for Christmas this season and all nxggas can do is wax poetic about the past.

Eh, it's the 3 games in 11 days rather than playing on Christmas that's really the 'issue', but even then they already have occasions where a team may play 3 games in 12 days.
There isn't a league out there that would turned down a $150M deal to broadcast their games on a special day. As much as Silver is a pushover to the players he would have them playing on Thanksgiving if Amazon or Netflix were to have thrown the NBA a comparable deal.
That's what business is about. If the NFL 'stayed in its lane', there would never have been the Thursday Night opening game that's a huge draw. If NHL 'stayed in their lane' they wouldn't have the Winter Classic. Leagues evolve because businesses evolve

NFL put on a great show yesterday IMO. Netflix presentation was almost flawless. Games weren't great but the Chiefs clinched the one seed and Lamar put on a show to put his claim on the MVP. Halftime show looked awesome. It was something for everyone. You can tell the NFL went to great lengths to make the Netflix experience as enjoyable as possible.
NBA had the better day game wise, but again, outside of the NBA bubble, no one cared. LeBron having to remind people that "Christmas is our day" was especially sad and pathetic. NBA has a long way to go to earn back the equity and trust it's burned with sports fans.

Yesterday was a win for the NBA. Meanwhile the NFL games were trash.

I think they should've moved Spurs-Knicks to a different time slot instead of them as the first game

This is why I say the NFL is a cult at this point. No matter what happens people will have the game on in the background & support it
Garbage games & still get all the love lol
There has been month long discourse over how “bad” current NBA is & that is why the ratings are low.

Enjoying a product doesn’t a equate to belonging in a cult.
NFL more often than not delivers an enjoyable and entertaining product that appeals to the masses. They also openly respect their fans.
The NBA discourse hasn’t just been a month long discussion. The NBA has openly disrespected fans for years. Once you lose a customer (or millions in the NBA’s case), it takes time to regain the trust back, if they even give the product a second look.
The NBA’s problems didnt start overnight and won’t be solved because the Christmas Day games were actually good for once.
