Goodbye Watching NFL Playoff Games Without Paying For Them

[Lucky Luciano]

now we are seeing where the greed of the NFL is starting to blossom. soon you will have to pay for most regular season games even if you are in the local viewing area on free tv, all the playoff games and eventually the superbowl also.

as it stands, now you can give BEZOS from amazon your hard earned money. amazon now has an exclusive viewing not only regular season games but of a playoff game also.

anyone have any email links to GODell or his cronies? they certainly don't have any comment area's or email links on the NFL's website that i have found. if you don't want to have this sport end up like they have done to baseball you better become serious about complaining to the advertisers and the money oriented NFL as a whole.

this is the beginning of the end of NFL sports. they can kiss my arse if they think i will pay to watch.

disgusting

So now you need Sunday Ticket, Netflix, Amazon, and Peacock to watch all the games. It is really getting out of hand.

this is what they want. to make you pay and then pay some more. it's the end of an era. i will never buy a pay service to watch a sporting event that is/was broadcast locally.

just makes you wonder how much the taxpayers are subsidizing the NFL collective. if so why should we let them be exempt from anything? also anyone wanting that $%&@@# BEZO's to buy the bears better hope that never happens.

Looks like I am done being a fan.  To all the people that bought in to these subscriptions, kiss my butt.  I don't want to hear you complain about how much you pay for tv and internet.

i used to be a baseball fan. many, many games were on 44 WBBM (i believe) in the 70's. rhino bought the sox and took away all the over the air broadcasts of sox games and made them pay per view. the final straw was rhino keeping mcdowell and fisk out of a playoff locker room back in the 90's, telling them if they wanted in the stadium to buy a ticket. i haven't watched a baseball game since or bought any merchandise related to baseball either.

college football: again greed shines through. locally televised games were pulled unless you subscribed to the big 10 network channel. now the local broadcast's are SEC, other out of the area big 10 teams and so on. i really enjoyed college football. i haven't watched a single game by choice in over 10 years. saves me hundreds of dollars a year on merchandise too.

when it comes time to subscribe to a service to specifically watch the nfl i am finished with sports altogether.

Remember all the "Cord-cutting" stuff. Lol, that is hilarious now because EVERYONE pays more now for less. If you want the same cable TV subscription that you had a few years ago, it is likely close to double because they have to make up for all the customers that left. Then with the streaming services, it is so fractured, that you have to get 3-4 different services to get most of what you had before. The ecosystem is completely broken.

I have Netflix thru T-Mobile, so the last two games I could watch, but for some reason, they restricted casting to a TV for live events. Like how stupid is that? So if I have the Netflix app on the TV it is no problem, but if I try to cast it to a TV (using Chromecast), it won't allow me.

I live out in the country, so dishnetwork is what I have.  I already pay $115 for garbage.  Once my contract is up, I am getting starlink and one of those fire sticks.  Kids wonder why they cannot afford anything like their parents did.  It's because we are paying a fortune for air...tv, Internet, cell phones.
