I have no idea how it hurts them for churches to have parties and watch the Super Bowl.

It doesn't hurt the NFL, it "hurts" other businesses that have paid for Superbowl broadcast rights.

I have an employee who is also a bartender. At their bar, they have food, drinks and Superbowl on large screen for $60 per person.

I don't know how much they pay to be able to broadcast the game. But you must know that the bar would be pissed if a church next door was broadcasting it free with a large sign out front WATCH SUPERBOWL FREE HERE.

That makes sense. In that respect, it does hurt the NFL because it devalues the packages they sell to sports bars. On a slightly philosophical (basically I’m being economically stupid) note, I’m becoming a little disenchanted with the NFL squeezing every last fricking nickel they can out of everyone.

That's not my problem, is it? The bar can find other ways of drawing people in to their $60 party.
