People-the article is pointing out how complicated and expensive it’s getting to watch football. The good news(for now) is that they have to broadcast your favorite local home team for free so don’t vacation on Thursday nights. Christmas on Netflicks-they’re doing us a favor. Holidays are for the family.

As long as the stadiums and the property they’re located on requires a SMIGEN of taxpayer assistance you can count on your local team being broadcast for free. The thing is the democrats will fight harder for it than republicans. It’s no wonder people tend to despise us for standing up for corporations.
