not a good one
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

NFL is about to lose its fight to save TV blackout rules

QuoteThe 40-year-old federal rules that support the National Football League's TV blackout policy could finally be eliminated this month. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler today scheduled a vote for September 30 on "a proposal to get rid of the FCC's blackout rule once and for all," he wrote today.

"There is no better example of an FCC rule that has outlived its usefulness and deserves to be eliminated than our sports blackout rule," Wheeler wrote. "In 1975, the Commission enacted rules barring cable from airing a game that has been blacked out on the local television station because it was not sold out—strengthening the NFL's blackout policy. Today, the rules make no sense at all."

Pro football doesn't need the government's help to boost ticket sales, "and we at the FCC shouldn't be complicit in preventing sports fans from watching their favorite teams on TV," he continued.

Thanks, current FCC Chairman and former cable lobbyist who is doing to his best to kill the internet! I'll totally trade Netflix for people in Oakland to be able to see home games. :yay

obviously the policy is illogical but its really not needed...only a handful of games dont sell out and those that dont are awful games the local fans dont care to see.

but of course finally removing the policy is long, long overdue. hooray government.

Lynn Swann was lobbying to keep the blackouts.

Just realized the story from a couple weeks ago of the Bengals resigning that player to make sure he still had health benefits for his daughter was Devon Still, another Delaware kid. Played against him, pretty sure he gave one of our TE/DEs two black eyes, absolutely crushed him on a hit.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds
