NFL Flips on Anthem (Again)

[SuburbanFarmer]

EA paid them a boatload of money for those exclusive rights and they have massive control of content within that game. That is a great deal for them. The streaming the audience and tech ain't there for that and it undermines their television partners.

"The tech ain't there to stream football games". Wow.

On the consumer side genius. One of the biggest complaints about the Facebook live games was about buffering and constant feed interruptions, some compared it to watching it on dialup.

You are aware that there are other streaming services out there, right?

Not talking about the streaming service talking about ISP's.

The same ISPs that carry Netflix and literally every other streaming service to millions of homes without a problem?

All the leagues are like that. That's not going to change most likely.

I don't seem to have any problem getting PGA, MLB, or NBA games.

MLB out of market games are packaged and they are expensive. You think because you get Cubs games on WGN that's a league thing? PGA really PGA? You watch the NBA? Online? Out of market?

The NFL has a problem bigger than anthem kneeling this year. Sacking the QB has become more confusing than the catch rule from a couple of years ago.

This link has a great video that sums up the problem in about 1 minute.

I was watching the game, and turned it off right after the penalty on Matthews was called. I didn't tune back in. I was so fed up by it that I skipped the late and Sunday night games. Won't be watching MNF either. The NFL seems to be actively trying to alienate their fanbase with every decision they make. Anthem rules (or lack of), catch rule, sack rule, etc..

Matthews get flagged because according the letter of the new rule, he landed with his weight on the QB. How the holy hell is a guy running full speed at a guy standing still not supposed to land on him when making the tackle. A FOOTBALL TACKLE. No helmet contact, no extra driving into the ground. If this is a penalty, then how is the sack by Payne on Rodgers, where his pick him up, tosses him down, and LANDS ON HIM not a penalty?

The NFL is losing quickly losing me. I can't say I'll stop watching completely, but I've already begun getting used to watching a lot less. Oh, and forget buying NFL licensed anything as long as this rule is in place.
