The NFL completely bungled this for more than a decade and screwed it up by choosing YouTube. Forcing fans to subscribe to DirectTV to get the Ticket was bad enough. But when they finally went to a streamer, they rejected great ideas like fans being able to select specific teams to get out-of-market games for. Guaranteed, that would have increased subscribers and boosted overall revenue. FU Goodell and greedy owners. Choke on it.

I don’t exactly know what this particular case is about, but yes I agree they made a big mistake breaking the various games for next year across three or four different streaming services. People are sick of paying for all these services. I think it will kill ratings and interest in the game overall.

Fans/taxpayers pay for the stadiums
Fans/taxpayers pay for the infrastructure surrounding the stadiums
Fans/taxpayers pay high ticket prices and food/beverages
Fans/taxpayers pay for jerseys and other sports memorabilia and merchandise
Fans/taxpayers pay to watch the some of the games on TV if it's not over the air.

Complete and utter rip-off

Just watch The Red Zone

There have been 20+ years I have lived outside Pittsburgh and had to miss Steelers games. Many years I was renting and could not get a satellite dish installed, now I won’t subscribe to YouTube.

The NHL, NBA and MLB all have single team and league packages you can stream without further subscription to satellite or a streaming bundle.

I wish nothing but ill will to the NFL for how they have handled out of market games the past 30 years. This award is not enough.

What constitutes am inflated price. Either you are willing to pay for the package or you aren’t.

Goodell is utterly loathsome to me.
Just sayin'.

[LukeL]

Correct. They could have changed something like $7.99 for a single out of market game,or $100 for an entire year of your teams games. Pay per view technology allowed this as far back as 2002 with digital cable.

I wouldn’t watch the NFL even if they paid me $10 per game.
