[Article] Fractured Streaming So Bad Injured NFL Players Turn To Illicit Streams To Watch Their Own Teams (www.techdirt.com)

It was only a few weeks ago that we were discussing how, thanks to how fractured streaming has become, watching NFL games is becoming more and more an expensive and complicated process. It’s gotten so bad that ESPN has released an app designed specifically just to help viewers find where to watch the NFL game they’re interested in. But finding it alone doesn’t mean you can watch it, what with the labyrinthian landscape of different cable and streaming providers the NFL has negotiated to show its games. The point is not only that this is getting far too expensive for fans, but that there is a mental transactional cost associated with all of this as well.

see it is not really a sport. it is modern day slavery and games for the masses just representing brands. it sucks so bad, kids are advised not play tackle shit until they are teens because head injuries. why really keep that sport alive and do those stupid world tours? waste of time and resources. if a club represents nothing but its owner it has no value sportswise. or basketball. geez.
