MWil23 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I’ll just save the ~$1,000 over 6 months and use it to make my raised garden boxes and rock pathways with arches instead. Maybe I’ll be the only person to boycott but I don’t care, I’m not going to continue to be a part of their cash cow. Screw ‘em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for one month and cancel? It's really not a big deal. Say you protest and decide to go watch it at a bar instead, how much your food and drinks going to cost? More than a month of Netflix.

IMO it’s more of what we in acquisitions call “buying in”. They’re willing to take a short term loss to gauge the market response and potentially reap massive future profits or else cut bait after a year and view it as an advertisement opportunity as opposed to failed venture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to parcel off so many games, particularly on non traditional days and special occasions, is just such a huge money maker. And yet they're still trying to open up teams to Saudi ownership. The greed is getting ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are websites that have 1080p+ broadcasts available for download within like 15 minutes of game end. Instead of a on one off Christmas package, I'll start one game delayed, skip half times, and have high quality picture with no interruptions going right to my TV through Plex for free.

Ha maybe if you were never going to watch TV and the NFL is the only reason you would purchase any TV streaming product. I have Fubo, will get every FOX, NBC, CBS game this season. A month of Peacock and Netflix to watch these games will cost me $30 more than I would've otherwise spent had the NFL not existed. So over dramatic.

I have NFL+ so I'll watch them delayed too, but if it was the Packers, I'd just pay for the Netflix and cancel. It really isn't a big a deal as people make it out to be. It's entertainment, you pay for boxing/UFC matches, movies, etc... up until streaming you didn't have to pay anything to watch the NFL, that's changing, so is the salary cap because of it.

Question....can you also get the "out of market" games on FOX/CBS/NBC on Fubo? Edited May 15 by Leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 And for the record, if I went to buy dinner and watched the game, I get an immediate dopamine response while supporting a local small business, and I line their pockets instead of theirs.

Well then the NFL hasn't made anything off you to begin with, so they aren't losing you either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a VPN and make FUBO think you live in WI though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those things (corporate greed) I just don't care about in something like sports which are fully optional. At some point, as @ramssuperbowl99 said, there's a bubble for all of this. Good business involves balancing your greed with doing your best to ensure that it is satiated via good business practices and strategies. They can be as greedy as they want. Private company and all. If they want to be so greedy that something ultimately blows up in their face and has significant detrimental impact to the business, that's on them. But this? This is just a great business strategy for them. They created something that didn't exist (christmas games -- which are on a wednesday this year) for $0 and sold it for hundreds of millions over 3 years. It has 0 impact to me because again, these games didn't exist. Before right now, these games would have just been played on a sunday with everything else and I probably wasn't going to get to watch them anyway because I can only watch so many games at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
