Senator Tammy Baldwin Criticizes Packers Thanksgiving Eve Game Streaming on Netflix
Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) has expressed concern over the decision to stream the Green Bay Packers' Thanksgiving Eve game against the Los Angeles Rams exclusively on Netflix. Baldwin introduced the 'For the Fans Act' to ensure free, over-the-air access to nationally-televised games for residents of the state where the team is based. The move to stream the game on Netflix has sparked criticism as it requires fans to subscribe to another streaming service to watch the game. This development comes amid broader scrutiny of the NFL's broadcast practices, with the Department of Justice investigating the league's broadcast antitrust exemption.
