but i do see how fans could misplace their anger, and direct it at the NFL instead.

I think with the criticism they've been receiving over their game presentation, they felt like this could turn the wrong direction for them if a lot of people didn't get to see this game.
I personally think it's going to backfire, because Gumbel is just that terrible. People are going to understand why the cable companies are taking their position.
