You’re not wrong, but they also have been giving away $100,000 every week for an NFL pick’em contest. Which I’m pretty sure is just data collection racket at its core anyway. So what’s another $500,000.

If any business is able to just print it’s own money, it’s the NFL and it’s broadcast partners. I would not be at all shocked if it was 100% intentional.

A fox movie that makes $500k at the box office would be considered a commercial failure. Yes it’s actual money, but it is effectively nothing for a corporation, a rounding error.

If you are trying to actually protect anything it shouldn’t be a rounding error.
