Oh great, another NFL game on another weird streaming service

[Mysterian]

Buffalo vs. L.A. on "Peacock." Fuck this shit.

I'm starting to lose interest when there are so many games I can't watch without signing up for some new bullshit.

1. That happened to me last weekend! A game I wanted to watch was only on Peacock.

2. Ditto

3. I believe this is the result of the Supreme Court decision against....

...Net Neutrality.
Along with smart TVs, it changed the entire internet into a pay per streaming service.
People at first rejoiced at the end of cable, but now everything is ala carte and I can only afford so many items at the internet buffet. Thursday night football is only on Amazon Prime I have Prime, but I'm not going to sit and stare at a football game on my computer for 2 hours. That's what Facebook is for. haha

I told people at the time, what would happen is if you want football, you'll pay for it. If baseball's your thing, add that to the monthly bill. Which news service do you want? Which network comedies? It will not end.

I recall the telecommunications reply to the Net Neutrality defeat: To paraphrase: "As long as no one gets greedy, you won't be able to tell the difference".

4. Yup, the NFL needs to generate more cash.

5. I expect NFL Network will air the replay later this week

They usually replay Thursday night Prime games on Fridays. Why not this one?

But I agree: fuck this shit. Would it help to get off our collective butts and send letters to the league?

6. There's going to be a playoff game on this Peacock crap

The greed is insurmountable. I don't think letters to the league would help.
