What the crap is going on? Chasing media contract dollars and alienating a number of NFL fans who don't subscribe to every little streaming service and so you can't watch. What an absolute stupid and frustrating idea. Make it make sense for the viewer!!! They just did this garbage with March Madness. Who has TBS or TNT anymore?

They don't care about you.
It's the dollar. Get what you can get now because tomorrow may never come. The league does it. The players do it. Nobody in the business gives two squirts of piss for a fan not getting to watch the game.
They will get their contracted TV money rather anyone watches or not.

NFL is cashing in big time. Will be curious to see what this does to the popularity of the sport long term.

Netflix has 335 million subscribers worldwide 235 million of them approximately are outside of the USA and they are seriously pushing these international games. They’re trying to get the international crowd they don’t care about us here….

Counter point, Amazon Prime covered the Masters phenomenally. Multiple different channels, channels dedicated to certain players, channels dedicated to certain holes. It was pretty great.

Now does that translate to the NFL? Probably not. But it was awesome for Golf.

WHAT?? I have dish and they're apparently in negotiations with CBS and local channel 3 and we haven't been able to watch these channels for about 6 weeks. So, I went to Prime to watch the Masters and it could not be watched because Paramount+ was broadcasting the event.

That is so weird. I watched the Masters on Prime and didn’t have to do anything with Paramount plus. I even spent most of the time on the channel dedicated to just holes 15 & 16.

The NBA is chasing the channel money as well and I've grown tired of following.

Updating here I was on vacation for weeks and apparently missed the email from youtube about Sunday ticket. I saw a commercial this morning, checked my email and August 2 is the day they auto bill you for 2026 so if you had it last year and don't want it next year go online today and cancel before they auto renew. $480 for the season! Note, new subscribers can get it for 240 dollars, so half price for new people double for returning customers. This is stand alone Sunday Ticket no youtube tv. I couldn't find a phone number but I found an online chat customer service and asked for a discount and they said no. I cancelled today.

My backup plan is I already have free Paramount(hate them) via a UCLA basketball fan site so I can get CBS games on that, there's 2 49er games I get on local tv I assume there wil be a couple of others and then I'm going to try and use FOX One and VPN to get the others. FOX one is 20 bucks a month I need it eventually anyways for Big 10 basketball to watch UCLA games so. I've dropped Disney/Hulu, so the money they were getting will go to FOX one when the season starts.

The greed of Youtube is astounding.

The good old days we got two games on Sunday. One on Monday night and I hoped Howard Cosell would show me my teams highlights at halftime. No ESPN or YouTube. You looked at pitchers in the news paper. I cut the cable a decade ago you kids have it good. Except no one can afford it
