Yet another reason why none of the major sports will ever even contemplate pay per view, ever, not even for a second. Really you keep proving my point. PPV will never happen. And really, they all know what happened to boxing. Boxing used to be the 2nd biggest sport in America, then it got addicted to various forms of PPV and where is it now?

So really, again, accept as true, the NFL (NBA, MLB, NHL) will NEVER go to PPV, ever. So stop saying they will, because it’s more likely the sun will rise in the west.

This may not apply everywhere but here in Boston one could,long ago,get Celtics games,Red Sox games, *and* Bruins games on free TV...over the air. Today you must have cable TV *and* sign up for a sports package at extra cost. That didn't happen without the support of the accountants working for these teams.

Yet you're insisting that it can't happen with the NFL.

I put it to you that these same accountants will decide if,and when,it happens.

Actually I should have made clear that I used “pay per view” as a catch all term...meaning you pay to see a game (or a number of games) rather than be able to watch it just with an antenna. Which is what I’ve been doing since I cut the cord several years ago.
