    Bought the nfl ticket this year thinking it would be an easy way to watch the games. Then surprised with sorry, no Thursday games, sorry, this is a local exclusive game, sorry, this is a peacock game, sorry, not this Monday game either. So i watch the bills game last night on stream east, couldn’t get a refund for the nfl ticket, so im just not going to buy it again. Just going to stream east every game.

      Peacock is owned by NBC, so I wonder if it’s part of the NBC/NFL contract. If so, it didn’t cost any more to put it on Peacock.

    It’s this kind of bullshit that’s got me to give up watching football altogether. If there’s a simple, reasonable-priced option I can pay once and not have to feel gouged or upsold later, I’d consider But being made to buy multiple channels I otherwise would never want to watch in order to see a game? No.

    Yeah because streaming exclusives are bullshit. This does absolutely nothing for the viewer and only benefits peacock. Why would people be happy that their free over-the-air TV is being chopped up and hidden behind monthly subscriptions? What fucking lunatics think people WANT this?

    Oh right, media execs.
