Money talks.
An NFL game streamed by Amazon Prime on Black Friday is now a foregone conclusion, according to NBC’s Peter King. It may not happen this year, but it will almost certainly be on the schedule in 2023. This comes after the owners quietly cut through some red tape at the recent league meeting to make it possible.
King reports:
Owners gave the NFL permission to schedule two more teams for a second short-week game. … Amazon Prime has wanted a Black Friday game—a game on the Friday after Thanksgiving—as part of its schedule in 2022, or at the latest by 2023.
