> The total cost for a football fan who doesn’t have cable to stream all 343 NFL games this season is about $1,700.
The average NFL game is about 3 hours. That's 1,029 hours of content across all games. 1700/1029 = $1.65/hr for the content. That's a lot less than renting a movie. Yes, I know there are ads happening, too.
Seems fine.
It's not a human right to watch NFL, you're right (even though no one is claiming that it is). But people are allowed to be frustrated.
It's not about a single source of entertainment, it's that we're witnessing every nice thing become shittier and shittier each year, all for the purpose of increasing profits which are already immense and concentrated in the hands of a few.
There should be a pay what you want to watch model that doesn't price higher then traditional plans.
If they cut the commercials you’d still have just as much time with nothing happening. An improvement, sure, but not great.
Go to a high school game then go to an NFL game and you’ll see a massive difference.
Isn't that the vast majority of the content? Or is it different for streaming?
