With thousands displaced and millions potentially affected by Hurricane Harvey and Irma, NFL football reinforces its place as America’s game with NBC choosing to stream Sunday Night Football to all fans for free. It’s a thoughtful and “the least they can do” type of gesture from NBC, who is sending fans to NBCSports.com to tune into the divisional matchup between the Giants and Cowboys.

Of course, the NFL is the far down on the list of many displaced people’s concerns as Irma makes its way across Florida and into Georgia, leaving a devastated Cuba and the Florida keys in its wake. But even in the face of the terrible natural disaster, NBC wants displaced residents to relax, safely indoors, watching the game if they can (so long as they aren’t using up any needed battery power for their devices in the process).

Hopefully, fans can some peace and solace in watching their favorite teams do battle as they wait out the storm, which is currently a Category 3 hurricane making its way into Tampa while moving north and pounding the Gulf Coast.

Ultimately, this respectable show of good will won’t replace the memories (or most terribly, lives) lost in these storms, but we can all hope the entertainment helps those in their time of crisis, even just as a brief distraction.
