When I wrote this post, I had no idea the NFL was actually planning on taking over Friday football along with Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. And remember Sunday sometimes features 930am games and Monday sometimes has doubleheaders. I’ve never thought this in my entire life until this year: The NFL is getting out of hand. I love football, like, really love it, but 4 days a week? I’m about to be offended.
I’ve been reminded more this year than any other before: Football is part of the entertainment industry. The end goal is always money whether that comes in the form of ticket sales, ad revenue, or merchandise. Football is mostly just an entertainment vehicle for commerce. So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the #1 online store (Amazon) had a say in which teams are playing this Black Friday (the game is being broadcast on Amazon Prime)…
Since New York is the No. 1 retail market in the country, Amazon noted it would make sense to have a game involving one of the New York teams on a day that is all about shopping.
Is too much of a good thing, a bad thing? I’m beginning to wonder. Although I’ll give it to Amazon, this ad from earlier in the year is pretty funny.
Hey, at half time of the 89 games going on this week, check out my children’s books, both for sale on Amazon (and other online retailers). Perfect for newborns and toddlers up to age 5 or 6. I can even ship you signed copies, just comment below to get the (foot)ball rolling.
