NFL Broadcast Rant/TV In General

[Beemer-mark]

Major League Baseball did the same thing years ago. I listened to my team on radio since I was a little kid. Then in my 40's I had to pay a yearly fee to listen.

Get a smart TV, you'll get tons of free broadcasters like FreeVee, etc. Pay $15 a month for Netflix and just drop it when you no longer want to see it.

Over the last few years I’ve noticed that people will boycott certain companies because of their woke BS. But the same people will not boycott their favorite sport. They just can’t bring themselves to do it.

Not saying that’s a bad thing. Just an observation.

I won’t watch anything that is disrespectful to our country, to first responders, our military, and a common sense way of life.

Haven’t watched broadcast tv for several years. Don’t miss it.

If boycotting stuff makes you happy, have at it.

I'm boycotting boycotting things.

Time on this rock is short as it is.

Watch, buy, eat, drink what you want.

The kneeling thing has been over for quite some time. They are back to just playing football again.

Time to let go.

I have petitioned Netflix for a refund and punitive damages for the Ravens/Texans halftime show.

I find it funny how we just went through a cycle of, oh lets say 4 years, where everyone talks about the economy and how bad it is and how we need to deregulate and be more business friendly.

But based off the post above that must not count when it is something you want to watch.

I am not saying that the NFL isn't taking every advantage it can to make the most it can. Not a big fan of all the streaming and new TV options.

But that is the definition of deregulating (not so much in the government sense) and allowing the "FREE MARKET" to take over.

Just what most of us has asked for.

My timing was perfect, rib eyes were on the grill and I missed the show although it would not have taken much to have been better than the game itself.
We bailed with most of the 4th remaining, found an onDemand showing of the Boris Karloff Grinch then continued with the 2nd year viewing Violent Night. The wife's screeches of disgust and delight are my treat.

Cheap at thrice the price. Well worth every farthing.

have a coworker who was bragging about getting rid of cable.. until i had him add up all the streaming services and cable channel packs he had. he was actually paying MORE then he had with cable.

Yep, not surprised ! Thats the method to their madness, milk you by streaming any programs that might be worth watching on different channels, along with your normal fees for the mostly junk tv that's currently on. And still having to endure all the commercials to boot.

Nope, not doing it !!!!!!!!!
