Sports television is always innovating, and everyone wants to be responsible for the next big thing. NBC was very excited to introduce a new in-game feature during Sunday’s Cardinals-Cowboys game. The Green Zone.
Welcome to the green zone.
On third downs, see just how far players will have to go at any point during the play to get a first down. pic.twitter.com/cCLdkdLjls

Well, it wasn’t received all that well. Check out all the tweets below, hopefully this got back to NBC’s PR department.
You didn't even know that you needed a "Green Zone" to watch NFL games, did you! pic.twitter.com/1JBcNkmP7X

Never in my life do I ever want to have to see The Green Zone on my television screen ever again.

I appreciate the effort, but please immediately remove the “Green Zone” from all future broadcasts

The #greenzone is probably overkill on the infographics for #SNF

Get rid of the green zone #SNF

Get back to the drawing board NBC. Sorry, this was a total miss.
