“Get It Away From My Eyes Sweet Jesus”: The Entire Internet Was Unhappy With Netflix’s Scorebug For Both Christmas Day Games
Netflix debuted its NFL scorebug during its Christmas Day games, but not many people liked it.
The NFL took the money and ran when the streaming giant offered them over $100 million for the lone broadcast rights to two games on Christmas Day.
The streaming giant hit the jackpot as they hope to make their imprint in live sports.
It started badly, as many fans were not thrilled with the scorebug they rolled out.
It began when the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Pittsburgh Steelers and then continued with the late game as the Houston Texans took on the Baltimore Ravens.
“The Netflix score box is the worse thing I’ve ever seen. It’s an absolute monstrosity,” One fan said.
“The Netflix scoreboard for Christmas Day games is ass lmao,” a second fan added.
A third fan said: “The Netflix score bug isn’t awful, but it’s not my favorite.”
“Netflix score bug is awful. Want to see a little indication that it’s Christmas. Miss the old fox ones with Christmas lights in the border,” another X user said.
“The Netflix score bug is god awful get it away from my eyes sweet Jesus,” a fifth fan stated.
“And here’s a look at the scorebug for Ravens-Texans. That centering issue with PIT appears to have been fixed here,” ONE FINAL COMMENT SAID.
NetFlix Dealt With Two Blowouts On Christmas
Netflix’s decision to spend $150 million for the rights to two NFL games turned into a dud.
The Kansas City Chiefs traveled to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 and blew them out 29-10.
The next game was even worse as the Ravens took a step toward winning the AFC North title, dominating the Houston Texans 31-2.
