NFL's Flexible Scheduling Policy Sparks Controversy
Eagles-Seahawks Game Moved to Monday, Criticized for Inconveniencing Fans
- The NFL has moved the Eagles-Seahawks game from Sunday, Dec. 17, to Monday, Dec. 18, as part of a new flexible-scheduling policy.
- The move is criticized for inconveniencing fans, particularly those who have to travel or adjust work and family schedules.
- The NFL's decision is seen as a money-making strategy, prioritizing larger television and streaming audiences over the convenience of fans.
