NFL broadcasters need to stop with the game tickers and the game updates

I generally watch football on a delay. Even if I'm not, I'm recording one or two other games to watch later. The score ticker at the bottom of the screen is nothing but spoilers, and then the in-game updates about other games completely ruins them. It's fucking 2023, can they not adjust to how people are watching these games now??????

I like the ticker. I get updates in real time. Most people who watch recorded games do so because they can’t watch it live, not because they’re too busy watching a different game.

I think you’re in the minority of people who are already the minority of viewers.

Mauserr,

Aren’t they trying to be the most accessible to the most people? Which means you get like one game at a time normally so if you care about any of the other games you’re either SOL, using a score app, or looking at the ticket/in-game updates.

lotanis,

The NFL doesn’t adjust, to anything. It’s run by a group of old people, and makes so much money that they can get away with doing what they want.

To me the officiating really harms the product, but they refuse to make any structural changes, like technology or how the refs are paid. But of course, I keep watching - so maybe they’re right?

JJROKCZ,

I get the feeling most people aren’t actually watching 9 hours of football a day, most watch their team only and the ticker helps them keep up to date on the rest of the league

ATQ,

This sounds like a you problem, OP. Nobody, from beer and couch football fans, to degenerate gamblers, to fantasy aficionados is watching games like that.
