Another media giant is crying out for the rights of the national media of the NFL only four years after the television agreement of $ 111 billion of the League.
The Netflix content director, Bela Bajaria, has announced the interest of the transmission giant in the League afternoon package, something that currently costs Fox and CBS $ 4 billion combined per season.
