Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

"Netflix Meets the NFL: A Christmas Debut Full of Touchdowns and Technical Glitches"

 On December 25, 2024, Netflix made its debut in live sports broadcasting by streaming two NFL games: the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, followed by the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Houston Texans. This move is part of a three-year agreement in which Netflix has committed to airing at least one NFL game each Christmas.

Technical Glitches Mar Broadcast

Despite high anticipation, the broadcast encountered several technical issues. The pregame show began with approximately 10 seconds of silence due to an apparent microphone issue involving host Kay Adams. Shortly thereafter, an advertisement for "Squid Game" Season 2 interrupted analyst Mina Kimes mid-discussion. These early blunders raised concerns about Netflix's preparedness for live sports coverage, especially following previous streaming challenges during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight

Subscription Requirements and Viewing Options

To access the live games, viewers needed an active Netflix subscription, with plans starting at $6.99 per month. The games were also available on mobile devices through an NFL+ subscription at the same price point. For those unable to watch live, Netflix offered a replay window: three hours post-game in the U.S. and 24 hours internationally.

Halftime Entertainment

Adding to the holiday spectacle, the halftime shows featured performances by Mariah Carey and Beyoncé, enhancing the festive atmosphere and aiming to attract a broader audience beyond traditional football fans.

NFL's Strategic Partnership with Netflix

The NFL's collaboration with Netflix represents a strategic effort to engage younger, tech-savvy viewers who favor streaming over traditional cable. By securing a three-year deal, Netflix has committed to broadcasting at least one holiday game each season, with reports indicating a $150 million investment for the rights to the two Christmas Day games in 2024.

Looking Forward

While the initial broadcast faced technical hurdles, both Netflix and the NFL are expected to address these issues to improve future live sports streaming experiences. This partnership signifies a notable shift in sports media consumption, reflecting the growing influence of streaming platforms in delivering live sports content.
