I would like tickets that didn’t cost a small fortune to go watch the local thugs and rapists who make living wearing purple and gold.

The administration must have figured out a way of raising funds “in consideration”.

the NFL said. "Teams continue to work hard to sell tickets, including offering installment payment plans, group ticket sales and price flexibility."
Is this April Fools' Day?

The federal govt. had no constitutional authority to regulate this in the first place...unless, I suppose, it was a copyright issue.

The Dish blacks out games if you have a team in your viewing area. I am not in favor of this even though I live in Florida and would love to see my Minnesota Twins on the Dish. This is just a play to fans because they vote and would hurt the franchises. In Florida fan support for pro teams are terrible already this would make it worse.

Dropping the rule would have the most effect on the National Football League, which requires broadcasters to black out games if the local team does not sell out the stadium. This "rule" hasn't been honored for a long time. The Jets and the Giants aren't always (really) sold out anymore. But the games here in the NYC market are always broadcast on regular TV.

In a statement, the NFL noted that it is the only sports league that broadcasts all of its regular season and playoff games on local television. ............for now.

The league blacked out 16 games in 2011, down from 26 last season. Probably because Oakland started winning this season.

I remember stories of the broadcast blackout where the December 23rd, 1972 game of the Steelers vs. The Raiders, where the Immaculate Reception occurred, was not televised on local stations. However, I’ve heard many stories where there was quite a few people who tried to pull in the game from WJAC-TV in Johnstown, PA, one guy said he sat in his attic using a 1940’s era TV with rabbit ears.

The rule is meant to encourage fans to buy tickets to see the game live.
Right, because encouraging citizens to buy tickets to see games live is definitely a vital government function. Absolutely ridiculous example of government pandering to a special interest group.

This sounds like a ploy to get brain dead football fanatics to swallow every other poison pill the FCC wants to shove down our throats.
