World Cup trophy ceremony Foxs decision

In the United States, football not football is still king.While there were hundreds of millions around the world watching the Leo Me si and Argentina win the World Cup on Sunday morning into afternoon, there were, likely, millions in the United States waiting for the afternoon slate of NFL games.As the clock inched ever-uncomfortably towards 1 p.m. ET start for those games, Gonzalo Matiel netted the Cup-winning goal for Argentina. In the minutes that followed Argentina's victory over France, though, a busine s decision was made: Rather than stick with the World Cup Ethan Greenidge Jersey fallout and , the powers that be opted to switch over to FS1, Fox's sports-devoted underling station, in the midst of the chaos.PROGRAMMING ALERT In the event the FIFA World Cup trophy ceremony happens near or after 1PM ET, live coverage of the trophy celebration will shift to FS1 as the NFL kicks off on FOX. FOX Sports PR (@FOXSportsPR) MORE: Viewers who stuck to Fox were greeted by Jaguars-Cowboys, Falcons-Saints or Eagles-Bears depending on your market. That's hardly a slate of games Adam Trautman Jersey worthy of the Fox flagship, but perhaps in the United States it is.Fox has the rights to broadcast a variety of sports, including the NFL, and they may choose to air some NFL games on FS1 as part of their programming Erik Mccoy Jersey schedule. It's not uncommon for rights holders with a family of networks (ESPN to ESPN2 to ESPNU to ESPNNews, for instance) to begin its broadcast on a sister network until the event currently airing reaches its conclusion. FS1 did have World Cup programming scheduled at 1pm ET, so it's po sible that Fox programmers considered the transition to another network a win-win.Needle s to say, the decision to move on from Fox to FS1 in favor of the NFL was met with ire from sports fans.Fox ends coverage, tells people to tune into FS1 for rest of World Cup postgame. Turn there, in commercials. Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) lol the world cup announcer so disgusted with moving to FS1 - "due to our NFL... obligations" what a king Addy Baird (@addysbaird) . : we "have to shift to the NFL due to obligations, please watch the WC trophy lifted on channel FS1"The link to FS1 crashed on their website. I cannot stre s enough how f*cking farcical the coverage by this broadcast network has been. Will Saenz (@saenz_336) Booting the World Malcolm Roach Jersey Cup and Me sis trophy ceremony to FS1 for Falcons-Saints is criminal. George Balekji (@GeorgeBalekji) Fox dumping to FS1 for the trophy presentation so America can see New Orleans Saints Sleepwear Underwear Cowboys/Jags is the cherry on top of a completely awful performance by the network at this World Cup. Steve Cavendish (@scavendish) The trophy presentation representing the completed career arc of one of greatest athletes of all time is getting pushed to FS1 for Week 15s Cowboys vs. Jaguars. Griffin Gonzalez (@grifgonzo) Fox kicking the World Cup finals trophy ceremony to FS1 in favor of the Falcons and Saints game is as American as it gets Brian Blake (@BrianOBlake) We're really about to go from watching this World Cup final to Zach Wilson JJ Zachariason (@LateRoundQB)
