The greed is unreal.
When football fans realized that it costs a whopping $679.99 for NFL Sunday Ticket through the Apple Store, or $739.99 if you decide to bundle in NFL RedZone, a ton of them went absolutely bonkers in anger.
The ridiculous prices were revealed by NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk, and understandably so, it set off a reaction of rage among the NFL‘s fanbase. And to nobody’s surprise, that $679.99 price tag (or $739.99) to watch through Apple TV, iPads, iPhones and other Apple devices is the highest price out of all streaming services. Because of course it is.
It was rumored in 2023 that Apple spoke with the NFL about including access to Sunday Ticket in their Apple TV+ subscription that costs just $6.99. That’s all it would’ve cost under Apple’s plan. But the NFL being the greedy brand that they are, declined. (RELATED: ‘Sign The Contract’: Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill Issues Official 50-Yard Challenge To US Olympic Gold Medalist Noah Lyles)
Oh, but it gets worse.
According to a report from Courthouse News, ESPN made the suggestion to the NFL to bring down their price to $70 per month. But nope, that wasn’t good enough for the league either.
Kudos to Apple and ESPN for at least trying to bring down the Sunday Ticket price. The NFL, on the other hand, should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
My wife and I are over here saving up for a house … there’s no way in hell I can justify spending this much money on a TV package. (Anybody down to be my Sunday Ticket sponsor?)
me too...and I used to love football
“ You ever been to an nfl game? Whites dominate the crowd and it’s not even close.”
I dont like certain people.
Some have lighter colored skin , others darker colored skin.
Same with who I like. Some lighter some darker.
Again let’s leave the profiling of people by skin color to the liberals.
And yes I’m not naive, I know the real world

“football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.” ― George Orwell, 1984”
That sure looks to be where a lot of people are.
I can’t afford that much, even if I watched the NFL, which I don’t. I’ve watched pro and college football for about 60 years. They’re both about done as far as I’m concerned. But it was a good run.
The issue is not who you like.
The issue is who hates you.
Why would I pay money to watch anti-American clowns complain about racism while getting millions of dollars to chase a ball. “Take a knee for muh racism” or something.
I still tune into a lot of Pats games. A few of the Bills games. My two teams. I stream everything. So, I may subscribe again to Paramount and Peacock. The rest of the games I will watch the 15 minute recap on YouTube. Typically available within a half hour of the end of the game.
Of course there are plenty of streaming sites out there where you can watch any game for free.
Instead of woke NFL, download Merit+ and become a fan of the pro-American Professional Bull Riders.

It started with Kapernick, but the NFL has spiraled in since.
the plural of anecdote is not ‘data’. not going against your claim but have some objective evidence. show some numbers
Watch the games for yourself and look at the audience.
Create your own anecdotes.
It is the best way to learn.
But I like watching defense.
Another thing, gambling is ruining the league. It's obviousm
That works too.
