For the first time ever, the NFL will be having a Thanksgiving Eve game between the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Rams. The game will kickoff at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix. There are a lot of fans who believe that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is becoming very greedy with these games being on streaming services.

President Donald Trump was no doubt correct about this. There are a lot of people who are home on Wednesday night for Thanksgiving, but many go to the bars anyways to meet with old high school friends. With that being said, Thanksgiving Eve is also a very heavy night across the NBA and the NHL as well.

There are a lot of NFL fans who are not thrilled about the Thanksgiving Eve game between Green Bay and Los Angeles on Netflix. This is what they had to say about this stunning schedule event on Twitter:
Congratulations NFL, you’ve attacked the most loyal fan base, Packers have the longest home sold out streak, by putting a prominent game behind a paywall. Revoke their anti trust exemption and break the NFL up for monopolist practices

This is overkill and disrespectful of the @NFL

How many different streaming services do I need to now to watch the NFL? 3-4? You need “regular” TV, ESPN, Amazon and now Netflix! Total and utter bullshit. The @NFL hates it’s fans. Does anyone remember when it was all free on network TV?

There are a lot of NFL fans who are right about this game should not be played on Wednesday. If they wanted to do this on Black Friday, that’s one thing. However, doing it on a Wednesday night is an absolute joke. This is for anything for Goodell to make money here. Jordan Love and Matthew Stafford will be a marquee quarterback matchup in this one. Two greater offensive minds in Matt LaFleur and Sean McVay will also be on the sidelines for this one here.
