I doubt the NFL will go 100% streaming, the NFL has an anti-trust exemption from Congress that could easily get revoked, if the NFL went 100% streaming, I think the public backlash would be huge and force the politicians to do something, that reason alone should keep the NFL from doing this.

Almost all of these streaming services are losing lots of money, NBC was overpaying for 1 game hoping to get a lot of new paying subscribers, I doubt it will work.

The NFL will go 100% streaming because network TV will cease to exist. You’re getting a glimpse of the future in video-based entertainment.

Also … I don’t think the NFL has an antitrust exemption from Congress. If they did, then the USFL would have had no legal basis to sue the NFL back in the 1980s.

For what it’s worth, the USFL actually won that lawsuit — but were awarded only $1 in damages because they couldn’t prove that the NFL’s monopoly harmed them in any way.

Mathematically it can't work past a certain point. Once they sign up all the fans that want to, there are no more to be signed up. It's a perfect example of the Law of Diminishing Returns.................

And to add to that, the new subscribers can cancel anytime.................
