Lucky enough to be in the local market so ABC airs packer games on Monday nights. Their production isn't that good and overall they killed Monday night football. It went from being THE game to watch across the nation to something only gamblers and local teams playing pay attention to. Great job ESPN.
Their coverage of MNF is pathetic. I remember when MNF was the broadcast that I always looked forward to hearing, no matter who was playing. Now I won't watch it, unless the Packers are playing.

As much as I love the Packers, I wouldn't mind seeing the NFL implode, as the fans finally get fed up with it and say "F you NFL, we are done until owners aren't making billions and players aren't making millions."
Yes. Plus, for Packer fans we’re in no man’s land. This would be a fantastic time if we need to boycott and miss games or go on fan strike!

The more appalling thing, those companies paying for those ads, are passing the cost through to their customers, us! Now some people say "oh I won't watch sports because of that", but they are indirectly paying too, unless they live entirely off the land and the grid. Even if you don't buy Budweiser Beer or any other brand advertised on TV, I bet the brand that you consume, has been able to raise their prices, right along with the companies that spend major dollars on TV ads.
I would be in that same group.
If the NFL starts charging fans to watch a televised production of the Super Bowl or any other game that will be the end of my NFL fandom, Packers or no Packers.Yes.

In a way they did, when they switched games to ESPN and now Amazon Prime. While people are not paying directly for them, they would have to have one of those services to watch the games. I have friends that use Rabbit ears and Apple TV. They love football, but refuse to go cable or any other boxed service.
There are ways to beat the system. I do have Amazon +. But that I had before, with shopping. I just had to buy the dongle, and use it for the TV package that comes with it. There's a myriad of free offerings out there with it. But trust me, there are other services available where you can get anything you want throughout most of the world, on actual services and stations, at a pittance. You just know how to find it and get it. In some cases it could cost less than the cost of a couple of double Whataburgers, large fries, and large drinks, for a month of service. My eyes have been opened.
Agreed. Much like the music industry faced, streaming services are losing business due to the average person being able to figure out how to get content for free. I pay for YouTubeTV, Prime and Netflix and have access to way more content than I need. I'm ready to drop Netflix and love YTTV for the fact that I have the ability to record and store unlimited content (for 9 months).
