No matter what, cut the ties with Bally. Please!
Anyone from anywhere should be able to watch any team they want. No more black outs no more exclusivity. And yeah, it should be free. With ads of course.
He just said a whole lot of nothing! Why don’t they do what MLS did with a season pass? I feel like that’s a no brainer??
I’m now more confused than I was prior to reading this.
Nonetheless, I hate that Bally has made it so I can’t legally watch the Blues and significantly decreased my fandom. Great work by all the ~~extremely incompetent~~ awesome people at Bally Sports.
Blackouts have to go. People will still have cable/people will continue to cut the cord. Find a way to cater to both. But at the very least, get fucking rid of the 48 hour wait period to watch a blacked out game. For reference, MLB.tv is 90 minutes after the game ends.
Nothing was said
“For me, it’s about continuing to find the way to get as many eyeballs on our games”
“Free? Not free?”
Gee I wonder which option would get more eyeballs on our games
TL/DR
Nothing pisses me off more than someone who flaps their gums without actually saying anything.
Damn I wonder why so many people find alternative ways to watch games? I certainly have no idea.
So many bullshit hurdles to watch games.
I won’t pay a subscription fee to watch this team. I’ve been a fan since 67, but it if I have to pay additional, forget it.
