Greg Cote’s Poll Dance: Like or dislike that NBA and NFL play games on Christmas Day? Vote now!

Sports on Christmas Day. We like, or no?

The NHL had a Christmas Day games tradition for 50 years, but stopped in the early ‘70s and now takes the holiday off. The NBA took over and became known for its Christmas menu. Now the NFL is ramping up its Christmas presence with two more holiday games this year.

What best reflects your thoughts on sports being played on Christmas? Some sports may love it. Others may find it too much, or even sacrilegious. Your opinion goes here.

You may vote as many times as you’d like or until your fingers get tired. (And happy holidays, by the way!)
