i dunno, strikes me as rather sensationalistic, even ominous, why not the simple facts?

FUBO, Hulu, amazon Prime, then subscribe to HBO/Showtime, etc. I spend about $120/month and can watch anything I want for the most part. I go to sports bars for Rams games here in Seattle when they aren't on national TV but have also streamed them

I think it's AT&T who pulled the plug, not wiling to pay the NFL's asking price. In either case, i'd be mad if it affected me. And since ATT also owns DTV it may soon enough. Though as a season ticket holder i get NFL gamepass which i think includes NFL Network on the app...

my guess is the sunday ticket is soon to follow... i remember once reading that the sunday ticket tilted the scales between directv and dish, and that without the sunday ticket paid subscribers would be about even between the two providers, instead of lopsidedly in favor of directv... that was the case for me, the only reason i went with directv was because of the ticket, but dropped them like a bad habit when i found an alternative... anyway, the sun is setting on sat tv in the u.s., and directv's (att's) exclusive deal with the nfl sunday ticket seems to be coming to an end too.
