For China national Derby fans NFL has gone in the opposite direction

Within a few hours after the sixteenth week’s competition, NFL suddenly made a decision to change the historical tradition. Considering that this year’s playoffs in the playoffs are fierce, several teams will play the last blow to the playoffs seat in the last week’s competition. In order to ensure fairness, the League will make a major adjustment for the last week’s competition. All the teams who hope to qualify for the playoffs are scheduled to kick off on Sunday, December 31st at 4:25 p.m. As a result, the league’s traditional Sunday night games will be forced to cancel. Since 1987, the SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (SNF) has been fixed every Monday, but it has not been scheduled for the first time in the regular season Sunday evening. And this adjustment, will also affect the last week China fans watch the Games experience, do not want to miss the final game of fans and friends, may want to set a good alarm clock to get up early in the morning to see the ball.

For the adjustment of this race, the official statement of NFL is to ensure the fairness and justice of the competition, so we need to arrange the game related to the playoffs to kick off at the same time. In fact, for this kind of adjustment, if you are familiar with European football fans should not feel strange, including the Bundesliga and Serie A, the mainstream European League, often to the final round will arrange kick-off at the same time, in order to avoid the understanding of the ball is. This system also created much of the football fans “, such as the very famous Bundesliga team Schalke 04 championship events in five minutes.

But in NFL, such a big adjustment, or even the cancellation of Sunday night games, has never happened. According to the NFL practice, a playoff game will be chosen as a battle for the entire regular season, scheduled for Sunday night. The most typical example is in the 2013 season, who wins the battle against the hawks at the cowboys, who will enter the playoffs and fight for life. As a closing game of the regular season, they are scheduled for Sunday night race. The hawk finally grabbed the playoff ticket with a 24-22 – point difference.

However, this year’s competition is quite fierce, before the last round, a total united with the League of nations will have 6 teams in the last game of the week to determine whether into the playoffs, are American League team Titans, Bill crow, team and lightning team, the League of nations and the falcons seahawks. There are several games involving the division of the championship. Therefore, how to find a key match arrangement in the night is a difficult problem that can’t be solved. After all, choose a game arranged at night, are likely to cause the loss of the Sunday night match result meaning, which leads to the sharp decline in ratings. So the alliance can only make a decision to put all the teams associated with the playoffs on Sunday afternoon.

The arrangements for the Americans did not constitute a great impact, but also to match a touchdown even perplexing, a goal will lead to the playoffs against these changes occurred in turn the world upside down, each game at the same time it would have a quite rare excitement to American fans viewing experience. But for Chinese fans, this is not what good news, because they want to focus on ending battle must sacrifice sleep.

Just this week, the traditional Derby of the first season in the Spanish League, especially for the Asian fans, set the game time in the prime time of Beijing time, while in Spain, the players had to play at noon noon. According to the European Football League’s practice, even though the last round of the game is all carried out at the same time, time for Chinese fans is also very friendly, mostly at 9 o’clock or 10 o’clock in the evening.

And can NFL have all the games scheduled for Sunday night? In view of the right of the NFL jerseys to sell the right to play, it is absolutely impossible. Because the Sunday night NFL NBC, week night match fixed race is fixed at ESPN, the game all other matinee combined aired on CBS, the League of nations in the FOX broadcast in the television broadcast, CBS and FOX are certainly not willing to put a large amount of event resources ending the war over to send out.

Therefore, for China’s NFL fans jerseys, the special circumstances of this year’s ending wars can only be overcome. Fortunately, this year’s complex situation is not common in NFL. True fans can sacrifice their sleep on this day and experience a stressful series of life and death wars. If there is no way to get up early to watch the ball, it doesn’t matter. In the beginning of the playoffs, there will still be a wonderful night race dedicated to you.
