The NFL has recently completed a round of layoffs over the last 24 hours, affecting some employees at the NFL Network, despite the league's substantial revenue of $20 billion a year. The layoffs are expected to result in a reduced live programming schedule for the upcoming season. An NFL spokesperson confirmed these changes, which have sparked criticism regarding the league's financial priorities, including ongoing negotiations for gazillion dollar rights deals.

The NFL needs to make cost-cutting layoffs? https://t.co/qYP66TIlMo
You’d think that when an entity as massive and profitable as the NFL has to do layoffs that the executives who put it in that position would see some of the blowback/consequences. Somehow that never happens. (Not to mention, with all their $, there is no way they *need* layoffs.) https://t.co/CrAWpVkuFa
The NFL prints money - why are they laying off anyone, especially in media?
I know one has nothing to do with the other blah blah but the NFL slashing lower paid, day-to-day employees while negotiating gazillion dollar rights deals is just gross. https://t.co/0wLUUL6kpS
