“The
#NFL holding fans hostage? Pfffft. I cornered the market on that ‘game’ THREE DECADES AGO. As I always say,
#BrandFirst will cure, well, MY thirst.” - GM Jerry.
I won't pretend to know who's right or wrong here.
It just sucks that fans are being used for leverage.
Leagues hold networks at gunpoint, networks hold providers at gunpoint, cost is passed along to the consumer. Or worse, consumer doesn't get what he/she paid for.
