This is getting out of control! We are getting Nickle and Dimed to death! I was thinking of getting Sunday Ticket with YouTube but between the Cowboys probably playing a lot primetime and nationally televised games, I do not think I am going to do it. This paying to watch everything is getting out of control.
Buckle up. It will only get worse from this point forward.

Lol, Goodell and the owners want more! More money has to come from the fans. You will have to sign up for multiple streaming services to watch games. Pay higher ticket prices, parking, concessions ect. It’s never going to stop as long as people keep paying. They will make every stadium like the Vegas stadium. Bottle service, exclusivity for certain areas, night clubs ect. Sports are an after thought.

What's your beef against CBS?
They require me to pay to stream their channel. If a game is on ESPN, ABC, NBC, TNT, NFLN, I'm good. But you have to pay for CBS. I'll just watch it on my TV. But if I'm at work, I can't do that.

Same goes for the NFL app. You have to get NFL+ to watch nationally televised games. So I deleted the app. I just stream from the channels airing the game. The NFL app was a terrible stream anyway. Constant buffering.

oh its getting there stadiums will have an influencer sections with celebrities that get just as much coverage as the game does itself

ticket prices will be $100 and up just for standing room and events could be held at the stadium while the game is in play

just imagine youre trying to watch the game and inbetween plays you see social media influencers getting interviewed, them popping bottles and promoting their brand, them having parties that on top of the regular 200
commercials

but it brings in money....so its gonna happen...its going to get to a point where people laugh at you for going to the game to watch the game because everybodys there to see some influencer with 29 million followers

I remember when streaming started. We were all like “it’s great it’s cheaper than cable”

And now they’re nickel and diming us because you have to have 7 different streaming services if you want to see all the good stuff.
First off, TV has never sucked more than it has the last 10 years. Very little content worth watching. Most of it I won't pay for, I won't watch for free, I won't pirate it, and I will leave a room if someone starts watching it.

Second, there are plenty of free streaming services that have most of the content from before the current era of CRAP TV.

Stop paying for this crap, and the NFL will stop trying to nickle and dime you to death.

yeah they would sell their souls and mothers for an extra $100 mil !
pretty soon to get all the games you would have to suscribe to like 20 different channels !
I only watch the games on free tv. I quit mon nite football when it left abc.
Did not watch any amazon thur nite games last season.

I wonder how much peacock ( what a stupid name lol ) paid for that ??
I have the peacock app and have had it for a good while I pay 7 bucks a month but I watch so many shows and with no commercials I like it. I do agree when streaming came out it was so much cheaper than Cable now its inched its way up to being just like Cable with the darn prices Just bleeding the public dry.

No doubt the league is trying to squeeze every penny they can from us.

Even with me getting almost all the Cowboy games I'm going to get Sunday Ticket because I love watching all the games and especially the Red Zone. My favorite channel on Sundays.

Every year I feel less and less guilty about watching NFL games by "other" means. I feel the NFL is forcing my hand.
I feel no guilt for it at all. I have enough streaming platforms and must of them are free or discounted.

But yeah I watch some great streams on “other means” and only pay 5 dollars a month. I love the Cowboys not the NFL I’m not spending all of this money just to occupy my whole damn week with football lol.

free with walmart+ too, but you know once they start adding those games , they'll start charging!
There a Walmart plus? Oh hell lol. Just when I think I’ve heard of all of them lol.

They eventually will. I like Peacock for free. Maybe the 4.99 it cost last time I saw. But they go over that good luck.
