    Bought the nfl ticket this year thinking it would be an easy way to watch the games. Then surprised with sorry, no Thursday games, sorry, this is a local exclusive game, sorry, this is a peacock game, sorry, not this Monday game either. So i watch the bills game last night on stream east, couldn’t get a refund for the nfl ticket, so im just not going to buy it again. Just going to stream east every game.

    I pay DAZN 150$ to watch every NFL game. If you start fragmenting that and making me chase games around different subscriptions, I’ll just stop watching or pirate everything.

    Why do they insist on doing this stupid song and dance? They know the outcome.

    Nothing’s exclusive while piracy exists, thankfully.

      I don’t watch sports. Has sports watching gotten easier with the yar hat?

      Peacock is owned by NBC, so I wonder if it’s part of the NBC/NFL contract. If so, it didn’t cost any more to put it on Peacock.

    Honestly it was probably more with being unhappy with having to watch the much scored upon Chargers.

    It’s this kind of bullshit that’s got me to give up watching football altogether. If there’s a simple, reasonable-priced option I can pay once and not have to feel gouged or upsold later, I’d consider But being made to buy multiple channels I otherwise would never want to watch in order to see a game? No.

    Yeah because streaming exclusives are bullshit. This does absolutely nothing for the viewer and only benefits peacock. Why would people be happy that their free over-the-air TV is being chopped up and hidden behind monthly subscriptions? What fucking lunatics think people WANT this?

    Oh right, media execs.
