It would be cool to watch my out of state team but I’m not paying $400 for that privilege, not even close.

The gatekeeping of sports is such a wild thing to me.

A couple years ago, I couldn't even watch a Braves game in Atlanta because of blackouts.

How does that make sense?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Because obviously everyone who wants to watch the Braves in Atlanta should go to the game! Totally feasible! /s

I still have to use MLB.TV and a VPN to watch the Twins in their own market on anything but expensive cable. Bally Sports is the only place that carries them and they priced themselves off of every single streaming TV service. I don't need the VPN to watch anyone BUT the Twins. The MLB.TV and VPN is still cheaper than the cable subscription. And Bally wonders why they're going bankrupt.

Yeah Bally is garbage. I'm in Columbus Ohio, so the MLB blacks out the reds, the guardians, and the pirates. It's insane.

Iowa gets fucked so badly by the blackouts. They don't have a team in the state but have blackout restrictions for 6 teams (Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Royals, Twins, and Cardinals)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

God damn that's fucking stupid. I feel like they'd see no difference in ticket sales if they stopped the black outs.

I'm with you - a few times early in this season I looked into it, but I have to pay MORE to just buy the NFL and I don't need YouTube TV so I said fuck it, I'm not paying $400 bucks just to watch 3 or 4 out of market games a year.

So basically YouTube is trying the old 'just buy our whole service for less'...but I don't want your whole service and I'm not going to buy it unless I want it.

I just want to watch a few out of market NFL games a year, and neither Google or the NFL will take my money.

I'd gladly pay for an out of market game once in a while. It's stupid business not to take customer's money just because you're trying to wedge your overall business into our lives.
