Netflix is not into sports
So your "quick Google search" was just bs FUD
My quick Google search:
Michael Nathanson - MoffettNathanson LLC - Analyst
Reed and Ted, in the past couple weeks we've seen the NFL of all people explore Internet TV when they have announced they'll stream a game over the Internet. We've asked you in the past, but given the changes in the model, do you think you can add sports as a category to Netflix at this
point?
Ted Sarandos - Netflix Inc - Chief Content Officer
Michael, I think part of our core consumer proposition is on demand. We make viewing certain kinds of content better, because they're on demand.
And I don't know that on demand sports is markedly better than live sports.
So that's why we haven't been that excited about it. Why we haven't chased it. There's economic reasons as well. I think in general, that sports is great for live television.
Reed Hastings - Netflix Inc - CEO
And the great thing, Michael, about the emergence of sports online is it frees people up to be more a la carte, which gives them more money to be able to spend on Netflix. So if we can anchor the entertainment side for movies and TV shows for every consumer and somebody else, or other set of leagues, anchor the sports part , which is still over the Internet, then the Internet TV proposition is even more powerful for consumers.
