Mike Francesa Rips ‘Greedy’ NFL For Airing Playoff Game Exclusively On Peacock

Legendary NY sports activities radio host Mike Francesa blasted the NFL this week … accusing the league of placing revenue over loyal followers, opting to solely stream the Chiefs vs. Dolphins playoff sport on a paid streaming platform, and NOT free TV.

“The NFL, which has the biggest, the best, and the most loyal fanbase anywhere, decides to basically thumb its nose at its fanbase and just make another greedy reach for another bundle of money, like they need it,” Francesa stated on his BetRivers show, ripping the NFL for the choice which reportedly netted the league round $110 million.

Mike added, “How many people in America don’t even know what streaming is?” … referencing the scores of followers who do not have entry to the streaming platform.

In fact, the Chiefs vs. Dolphins playoff sport is among the weekend’s most anticipated (and sure would’ve introduced in 30+ million viewers on broadcast TV) … however until you reside in Miami or Okay.C., the sport will not be on tv.

As an alternative, followers should shell out not less than $5.99 for a month-to-month subscription.

The remaining 5 Wild Card video games will air without cost on CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX.

“People wait all year for these playoff games. They love these playoff games and you’re gonna now charge them extra for a playoff game? They don’t give enough, you don’t make enough?” Francesa requested.

Mike is not the one one ticked off … a great deal of followers have blasted the league for the Peacock choice. Chiefs DE Charles Omenihu, who will probably be taking part in within the sport known as the transfer “insane.”

Earlier than transferring on along with his present, Francesa took a parting shot on the decision-makers contained in the league workplaces.

“They present up and are there religiously each Sunday, and now you’re gonna cost them for a playoff sport? It’s the final slap within the face to the most effective and most ardent and most dramatically necessary fanbase in America.”

“No person will get the rankings even near what the NFL will get. It’s by no means sufficient. Anytime they will discover one other pile of cash to seize, they seize it with each arms, and it by no means stops.”
