The NFL has become rich and arrogant ... way to arrogant.
Forcing local taxpayers to shell out the funds to tear down 25 year old stadiums and build new state of the art stadiums to house NFL franchises. The veiled threat ... if you don't you lose your team. Now they want to jack up their already inflated revenues by restricting fan viewership. Time for congress to step in and knock these arrogant 'a' holes back a notch or two.

Yep. They did that to us in Indy. Going to cost the taxpayers plenty. All so people can watch other people throw a ball around. Now there's a great function of government.

In Irving, Jones tried to get the city to torpedo the transit system to free up the 1% sales tax for his pocket. The voters said no, and he moved the team to a city with more suckers - the same folks that Bush had soaked to make his baseball team worth selling.
