Ill keep it for another 20 years. In today's world, we can get replacement parts for everything. Im about to replace the carpets. Go on amazon and pow.... brand new carpet kit specifically for our truck. Door parts, plastics.. anything we need can be replaced. It sure isnt like the old days. So we can keep our "old," trucks looking good.
Not one owner paid for their stadium without tax payers. Not one owner paid a ticket price to go into that stadium that tax payers paid to build and paid the tax on the ticket price. Not one owner when the NFL was tax exempt, paid taxes for the team income to subsidize us. Not one owner gave tax payers money back from TV contracts that free TV viewership allowed them to bargain to make more money with paid TV.
Yup. I'm sure they base it on supply and demand. As far as a vehicle I'm really thinking of buying 2 true gas hogging cars and put them in storage so I'm not forced to buy a car with a Duracell powering it....just waiting for the prices in cars to come down a bit,lol
Same here but I'm starting to think that it's not going to come down much at all when it does. The powers that be like it that way.
EVERYTHING is controlled by those in power. I had a thread in here last year or the year before talking about how rigged ticket prices are on sites like Ticketmaster, Stubhub, Gametix, SeatGeek and the like. All I got was well, dont go if its too expensive.. (ironic considering the thread on NFL+) I even wrote my Congressman explaining how these fixing of ticket prices is a scam and a monopoly. I got nothing... but boom, let it happen with Taylor Swift tickets and Congress was having hearings within 2 weeks.
I'm just saying it's not an alternative. If I'm in a whorehouse and I think the ladies are too expensive, giving me men as a cheaper option is not an alternative. But to each his own.
I coached sports for 20 years. During Fall, we always had tournaments, so I missed most games live. But I taped them. I made sure I stayed off the internet and didnt go near a tv while at our games. Then I would go home, turn on th egame (even though it had been over for hours) Id watch the game and it was as if it were live.
Ok, but for me that's not a viable alternative. What am I supposed to do on Sunday? Not watch any games? If you watch a game you get score updates. I watch games at home with friends or in bars, I'm not going dark until the games are over. That's not an option.
Exactly, who is he to say who can and cant afford something. Maybe he should walk in the shoes of someone who been a fan for 50 years and forced on disability and needs every cent for groceries, medical, rent, car ect..
I don't watch any games during that time if I wanna watch the cowboys later. It isnt easy but yeah....
The condensed version is great!
I agree... I only watch the condensed version upon returning home from being at the game live.
I grew up in poverty. Have you ever had to heat water on an electric stove to take a bath because the gas was shut off? I have.
its easy enough if you really want to. Get outside, get the yard work done, get some work on the cars done. The Cowboys only have 2 games the entire season with a 10 am eastern start time. That means you get to always watch the early games, then just stay away for the late game and as soon as the game ends, bam, turn on the replay. Ideal??? Not for me as I play fantasy and no way am I not watching those games as they happen. It is so important to me to watch them live.... thats why Im either paying or streaming. We all set our own priorities.
I think people whine about is having to pay for ALL the NFL games when they only want to get a few of the Cowboys games that are not on national TV. I used to buy the Sunday ticket for the few Cowboy games that weren't on living in New England. Now it's only about 3 maybe 4 games out the 17 that are not. So I find other ways to watch those. If the package was less money I would buy it.
Even if fans can’t afford it , if they feel the price is too high then they have the right to critique .
