On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down Charles Barkley calling out the NFL for “stealing” Christmas Day from the NBA and explains why the NFL stealing Christmas was inevitable. JT explains why the NFL stealing Christmas isn’t about greed, but about spectacle, ratings, and why football has become appointment viewing in a way the NBA no longer is. From star-driven problems in the NBA to load management killing urgency, JT explains why the NFL stealing Christmas exposes deeper issues with how the NBA markets itself. JT also reacts to Netflix’s sloppy Christmas Day presentation and why the NFL stealing Christmas should force the NBA to stop competing head-on and start working around football instead.
