Fifteen minutes after every game a condensed version of the games is posted on the NFL's YouTube channel. Most sports do this now.

Don't pay a premium for a McDonalds French fry.

I freakin' LOVED when the NHL started doing this. Longer than the old 2 minute highlights, but enough to catch up on games from a different time zone.
Just after they release a movie, you can read the whole plot on wikipedia for free! Don’t pay to see a movie.
flippant tone aside, this is a thing that actually happened!

not just after they release, but they would definitely show "abridged" versions of movies on daytime TV, with a little bit trimmed off to open up some space for commercials etc

just another thing that netflix ruined

And you don't really miss anything important, you see all the best plays and scores.

Example from last night: https://youtu.be/IENArFXpQD8?si=YuhqkVZdmJMKPzvR&t=566

some people want to watch the game and not just the highlights 3 hours later
Why watch the condensed version of the match at this point?

Just check what rank your team got at the end of the championship. Saves you time.

To be able to talk about the game
uh.. whole point of watching is the thrill of unpredictability in real time.
No, the whole point of sports in general is to have something to talk about with clients. Getting to the nut without wasting your weekend is great.
