I'm so glad they spent 400 million on this, I'm sure all xbox users living in the US will enjoy this greatly.

Well at lest people outside the US can enjoy TVs.... if they already have set top boxes.

What the fuck? $400 million for an NFL deal? Why are people so obsessed with the sport and why is a partnership for it worth so much?

I don't think you quite understand the amount of money that sports bring in.

What about us English.
No offence to you yanks, but I want to watch proper sport.

We need some sort of Sky deal so we can get all the Sky Sports channels on our xbox at a bare minimum. Hate having to change output on my tv just to get scores whilst im on the xbox. Will be so much easier with all this new social hand waving silly stuff.

Lol if people want to watch football they'll watch it on their TV, like they always have, they aren't going to go out of their way to buy an Xbox One just to watch football on it. Waste of money.

I can't stand it when people use "No offence" as an excuse to insult something.
But I will say that football is a silly name for our game.
