I would happily pay to stream a game. The problem is that I can't. The way its delivered, I have to pay an outrageous sum of money to pay for a bundle of games. Many of which I have no interest in. Its like walking into a Starbucks and asking for a cup of $5 coffee and being told that I have to buy the whole store to get the coffee.

A big problem - not only in sports, but in entertainment in general - is the greed motive behind the now-ubiquitous subscription model. You can't just buy an online ticket to a single out-of-market NFL game, you have to subscribe to an entire season. Add that to dozens of other patchwork entertainment subscriptions one now requires to watch TV or read newspapers, and most people inevitably get tapped out. As long as it's considered reasonable "market value" to pay pro athletes $40M/year (more, next year, and the year after that), the consumer is going to be asked to fund it. It's all gotten quite out of hand.

Exactly. I don't need every team and every game. I'd gladly pay to watch the 'boys when they're not televised nationally or broadcasted locally. It should be a simple process to implement but I believe the cooperate greed prevents this....

Exactly. You have to agree to buy a cup of coffee EVERY DAY for an entire year. Even on days when you don't want one.

Agreed. Honestly, they could charge on a PPV type of setup by game and probably make even more money. The general public will typically turn their nose at spending $350 for a seasons worth of games, but wont hesitate to buy 20 games at $20 a pop.

Why? I don't pay for NFL services as it is and I'd rather they not remove the streams but why does that make them pathetic? They are a business. If you ran a business and people were getting a paid service for free wouldn't you like a way to stop them?

They get paid by advertisers. Eyes are still on advertisers with pirate streams.

This will end up costing them billions just like the password sharing crackdown as people will just do without. They pirate it in the first place because the content isn't worth paying for.
