Dear Commissioner Goodell, I am writing to register a formal complaint regarding your schedule of three NFL Games Christmas, Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025:
Dallas at Washington @ 1 p.m. EST; Detroit at Minnes@4:30 p.m. EST; and Denver at Kansas City @ 8:15 p.m. EST.
The letter raises concerns about how the scheduling affects families and fans, with anecdotes about local teams (notably the Detroit Lions) and requests that the league consider the broader public interest when arranging holiday broadcasts. The writer urges the NFL to avoid creating situations where viewers are forced to choose between family traditions and televised games, and suggests making key games available on widely accessible channels so more people can watch without needing multiple streaming subscriptions.
The piece includes personal notes and examples of how the schedule has affected individuals and families, and calls on the commissioner to reconsider the timing and exclusivity of Christmas Day games in future seasons. It closes with holiday wishes and a plea to put family time and fair broadcast access ahead of complex streaming arrangements.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Roger.
Roger
