Truly no offense intended, but I don't understand what you wrote.
No problem...
I meant that the current situation has strong benefits at least for now. The traffic on NFL-related things is through the roof. If it is determined that there was this level of energy expended on a relatively ordinary event that simply hadn’t been checked before in like conditions...there’d be an exhaustion, and likely dropped viewership.
None of which to say that this would have been the way they’d want to go...but since it’s here, and wasn’t able to be resolved straight off, there’s now an incentive to let it keep rolling for another week.
