I know the NFL isn't allowed to play on Friday and Saturday, but why don't they schedule any games on Tuesday and Wednesday?>traditionNobody cares>not enough rest between gamesI'm sure a computer can schedule the season so that every team gets enough time between games
>>151817276What makes the NFL more culturally powerful is that it has no competition on a Sunday Afternoon-Evening and is usually fairly unopposed on Monday Nights.If the NFL did what the NBA does it would get NBA ratings for those games and while good NBA on NBC numbers are worth the money, they're paltry compared to what Sunday Night Football brings NBC.
>>151817276i havent got around to the math yet but i think it might be possible to expand the season to 20 games and play almost every day of the year. teams would alternate weeks so
>>151817276> NFL isn't allowed to play on Friday and Saturdaywhere did you get a retarded idea like that?We had a Friday nfl game week 1 and another on Black Fridaywe’re getting Saturday football at the end of the season too
>>151818590>The act withdrew antitrust immunity for any professional football telecast if a high school or college football game is being played within 75 miles (121 km) of the broadcasting station on Friday nights (after 6:00 p.m.) and Saturdays from the second Friday in September until the second Saturday in December. Because many college and high school games across the country are played within that proximity of a broadcasting station during those days and times, the NFL avoids scheduling any games during those days and times altogether.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Broadcasting_Act_of_1961the fact that you don't know that makes me sad and angry
