If you don't like the price, you can do something else.

If you don't like the price, you can do something else. Not necessarily the price. You have to have DIRECTV to get it. That's wrong. Oh excuse me did my tax dollars go to pay for that stadium? Oh yes.

IowaCowboy Premium Member Throw it out What I'd be suing over is the exclusivity with DirecTV. Not everyone can get DirecTV due to line of sight issues (wooded area, dense urban area, etc). But it is a renters right to put in a satellite dish under the OTARD rules if you have an exclusive use area.



But I see no issue with bundling all the games together. It's like bundling channels together such as Weather Channel, Fox News, and CNN.

Boston, MA moulder3 Member Re: NFL Gamepass Yup, it works via VPN or SmartDNS (even better option) as long as your provider is good. I was able to watch games last year that had 5 meg/sec HD and looked almost as good as local HD games....and significantly better than DirecTV online version.

This is much more like going to a store and buying a hotdog pack and being told you have to buy mustard and buns with it or it won't be sold to you because you're required to have the whole hotdog experience.

Marshfield, MA amarryat Member Re: What's the difference.... Not really. From the article above:



"Likewise, consumers must buy the complete season of games and may not purchase individual games."



The hotdog analogy is perfect there.

Franklin, VA IMarvinTPA Member Re: What's the difference.... The hotdog analogy is more like: If you get your team's season pass, you will only get the parts of the games where your team has possession of the ball. When your team is defending, you need the other team's pass or you get commercials. (And only when the team plays a home game.)

Free Market is a subjective term to most capitalists. They are free to market what they want the way they want, and you have no choices if you want the product. That is what that term really means to them. You might think collusion, exclusivity, and monopolist behavior have no place in a Free Market, but I can tell you that is exactly how it's designed to be run, and if we don't like the game, we should avoid playing and paying for it entirely. Let them run themselves out of business.

Right now, they've created a package and are happy with the returns.

Sugar Grove, VA Slyster Member The NFL needs to offer.. Something similar to what the MLB / NBA have.. One , Three , Seven or all Teams options.. At least for streaming / replays. I would probably go with the 3 team option if it were something like 69.99 one time payment or something.
