Amid Chiefs vs Dolphins Fever, LIV Golf Fans Credit The Disruptive League’s Model For The Playoff Hype

Has LIV Golf become a source of inspiration for the NFL? While most might not agree, LIV Golf’s ardent fans seem to believe that the recent wildcard weekend by the NFL being streamed on Peacock should be credited to the breakaway league. The Kansas City Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins was the only match exclusively streamed on the streaming platform.

The newest deal between NBC and the NFL for one weekend is making the rounds on the internet for both NFL and LIV fans. While NFL fans enjoy the new era of broadcasting, the Saudi-backed league’s admirers are claiming that streaming glory is a gift from the PIF-funded league.

Is the NFL following in LIV Golf’s footsteps?

Recently, the NFL announced that the three-match playoffs would be exclusively streamed on Peacock [streaming platform]. Although two out of the three matches will be available on television, only Chief vs. Dolphin is exclusive to the streaming platform for a weekend. However, the LIV Golf enthusiasts think that the move was inspired by their league’s unique business model.

A tweet posted by LIV Golf Insider talked about NFL playoffs being streamed online and proudly credited the new streaming move to LIV Golf’s business plan. Moreover, the post took a dig at the golf media since they previously criticized the live streaming of LIV Golf matches. The admin said, “The corrupt golf media won’t be watching the #NFLPlayoffs tonight” because they informed the public of the streaming platforms being outdated for the past two years.

But the NFL is using one now. Furthermore, it alleged that the differential business model of LIV Golf was a point of inspiration for the NFL, saying, “NFL took notes on the LIV Golf business plan.” The fan went ahead to call LIV Golf’s plans the best and “most successful” in any sport.

The fan is known for his candid persona on the internet. This time as well, they claimed a fact: The rebel league might have not just improved the game of golf but also the NFL. Although the tweet rather attracted negative reactions from the golf world.
