That’s because the NFL decided to broadcast the Pittsburgh Steelers versus Minnesota Vikings game at 9:30 a.m.
The NFL made this mess by scheduling the Steelers to play the Vikings in Ireland, the first ever NFL game in Dublin — as part of its campaign to further internationalize the sport.
The usual time for the first round of NFL games has long been 1:00 p.m. — that is, after church/Mass.
Even then, the NFL was respectful enough of church days to wait until after church services to schedule kickoffs.
This most recent move by the NFL and its commissioner, Roger Goodell, reverses that respect for keeping Sunday mornings sacred.
