Meh...who really cares? Many of us gave up on the NFL when they went woke a few years ago. I do not miss the NFL at all.

Damn all you people do is bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch - It's fricking insane
You are too fricking dumb, clueless and retarded to comprehend that this decision will set the foundation for future shadiness by these companies.... but if you like paying to watch sports (which it appears you do) then I guess keep on bitching and complaining

What "shadiness" is involved in NFL games going onto different platforms?
Did you react the same way when MNF went to ESPN and off regulated airwaves?

Also so people don't have to listen to the retard in the video in OP, here is the article he discusses
A better article
FCC is going to lose this. This is just boomer rage bait.

Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr could become an obstacle in the NFL’s pursuit of elevated rights fees, as he is now threatening the league’s antitrust exemption.
In a series of media and conference appearances in recent days, the close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump said the NFL’s increasing broadcast fragmentation is testing the commission’s patience, and that intervention could be forthcoming.
“You effectively have to have a computer science degree to decipher this,” Carr said Sunday on Fox & Friends Weekend. “We’re at a tipping point where these leagues can push it so far, putting games behind paywalls, that they undermine their ability to claim that antitrust exemption.”
quote:
Notably, two of the outlets that interviewed Carr extensively on this issue—the New York Post and Fox News—are controlled by the Murdoch family that also leads Fox Sports. That network is one of the incumbent NFL rights holders facing a likely spike in its costs, and Fox CEO and executive chair Lachlan Murdoch said last month that the network is prepared to “rebalance” its sports portfolio to absorb higher NFL fees.

If the National Football League puts too many games behind a paywall, it could risk losing its antitrust exemptions, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told Semafor.
“Does the NFL still benefit from the antitrust exemption when they’re negotiating for carriage of games not on a sponsored telecast, but on a streaming service?” Carr said at a Washington, DC, event Thursday. “That’s a very live, very ripe question.”
Carr said there is “a point at which you sort of tip the scale, and they’ve just put too many games behind a paywall, and then that whole exemption collapses.”
quote:
A 1961 sports broadcast law exempts the NFL from US antitrust laws to negotiate leaguewide TV deals, but only if it adheres to certain criteria, including customer access. There’s a fair amount at stake if the NFL loses its antitrust exemption, especially if individual teams start to sell their TV rights separately.
FCC is going to lose this. This is just boomer rage bait.

Trump needs to sue them for their virtue signaling and force them to get rid of “End Racism” and other stupid slogans in end zones and elsewhere. Or force them to also put “End DEI” type slogans in end zone for equal time

This is I can support. Anything to help working and middle class Americans save some funds
