In the latest sign that the NFL’s stock isn’t what it used to be, the league’s flagship network is being removed from a major cable company’s most popular subscription tier.
According to Awful Announcing, Comcast will be moving NFL Network from its most widely distributed cable package to a less viewed, more exclusive package.
Comcast, the largest broadcasting and cable television company in the world by revenue, reached the decision to move NFL Network after Fox purchased the rights to “Thursday Night Football” for the upcoming season.
Maybe it’ll get their attention.
No more kneelers! The NFL gets what it deserves.
Now customers will see fewer channels for the same price.
Not sure we have the whole story here.
Will the other package bring in more profit?
Well that will help to continue the NFL’s falling ratings. Nice!
Awesome news.
And Krappernick has been abroad bashing the USA, perhaps still wondering why he doesn’t have a job. Oh wait, racism!
yup
Winning! "Get Woke, go Broke."
Read the article. FOX is paying NFL THREE BILLION for the rights of TNF for five years.
Obviously you didn’t read the article.
The NFL turned its back on its fans.
And its surprised its being booted from a cable TV package?
A company that gives the finger to its customers won’t be in business for very long.
Even a monopoly like the NFL.
Old Kap has literally talked himself outta millions for a group of thugs that would leave him dead in a ally for the change in his pocket.
Football players aren’t know for their intelligence but this sets a new low for even them!
Don’t ask questions.
You can’t loose viewers when nobody watches.
I watch college football:
The United States has become a place where professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.
QUOTES by ROBERT A. HEINLEIN
Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings!:
“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he/she opens his/her mouth.”
— Robert A. Heinlein
In the meantime ESPN is bleeding like insane idiots who keep running into picture windows and glass doors.
Comcast is an American Enemy
Three billion isn’t even the NFL is worth.
I don’t see anything about their Sunday and Monday night lineup with FOX.
