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.

It's very fucked up. Do they actually think that I'm going to take time off work and go watch every game at the stadium which is 1.5 hours from my house just because they won't let me see the team I want on a service I paid for? No! All it makes me do is like and watch baseball less. But I guess they don't care, they already got their cable provider money.
