No hatred..just unbelief that they would pay so much for a service that only has 2 million customers

It does make me wonder how many subscribers they will get after this year. I understand it will open it up to many who want it but I'm guessing the talks going on with the NFL have to do with price and how many are actually going to sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket. Can they actually know how many will sign up for it? Also Sunday Ticket hasn't required a TV subscription for several years yet the numbers for the NFL Sunday Ticket haven't gone up. Can someone explain that one to me? My Father gets in with no Directv service

Well, as a reminder, that game meant nothing and was no more than a pre-season matchup between two teams that might not play against each other this season. And people still showed up. If the EPL held a regular season game that mattered in the US, it'd probably sell out quick. Same if El Classico was held in the US, which based on how badly La Liga needs money... that might happen.
As long as we are having this conversation in 2002, yeah, you are right. People that want Sunday Ticket are getting Directv.
But the current year is 2022, and there are a generation plus worth of people that don't do sat/cable. And if Sunday Ticket goes to streaming through Apple or Amazon, that opens a gateway to the permanent streamers that never considered getting Sunday Ticket. I have no idea what the numbers need to be for the winner to break even, but the math is different via streaming, because there is definitely a growing percentage of people streaming over sat/cable'ing.

I know, they want the NFL to change their business model to suit them but they were happy with the same business model when it was only on DirecTV.
As far as being available to everybody, who has said everybody wants to carry it.
A lot of channels are available to everybody but are not carried by all, Bally RSNs are available to everyone, but Dish, Fubo, Hulu Live, YTTV do not carry them.
They found their business model to not support them, YTTV and Hulu made the correct decision since they are the only Live TV services gaining customers.
If offered to Sat./Cable Companies, would they then say then you cannot have it available via broadband, which would still limit how many customers.
Streaming is the best option, it is the only way to reach the vast majority of the population, some will get left out yes, Corporations always does this to maximize money.
Why do you think the people who wont pay for cable or satellite have $300 to waste on sunday ticket?.. Sunday Ticket is a premium service amongst premium services...its over priced and really has little value to the average fan..there is a market for it..just not a mass market..a small niche market that directv figured out a long time ago..give it free for over priced satellite service..its not really a stand alone product that the masses want

What?
You have to get DirecTV to get NFLST, the only other way is if you are a College Student or live somewhere you cannot put up a Dish, Apartments for example or other multi-living types.
What does your Father use to be able to view it on?

Are you saying that all of the under 40 crowd have no money?
Maybe they just do not want to waste their money on a Live TV service that will cost them $3500 over 2 years that they will never use, just so they can pay another $300 for ST.
Again, you can spend roughly $50 a month to streaming services, get the majority of programming on Traditional Providers plus all the exclusive stuff, why spend another $100-150 a month to get a Live TV Service also.
If the under 40 crowd is not wasting their money on a service they do not want or need, then they are being smart with their money.

Because they aren't spending $1000 to $2000 a year on equipment or on channels they don't watch?
Mmm-kay.
I think you are thinking of CNN+.
So why has Directv been selling the Sunday Ticket to nonsubscribers of Directv? They say DirecTV only makes Sunday Ticket available outside of its regular subscriptions if you live in an area that can't get service from the satellite TV provider; you're also eligible for the service if you live in a multi-unit residence like an apartment, condo or dormitory. I know many that get NFL Sunday that way yet where

Television and Programing has been nothing but change over it’s short history and people have forgotten.
From B&W to Color
From SD to HD to 4K
From Antenna to Cable to Satellite to Streaming
From OTA Channels to Cable Channels to Streaming Apps
From watch it live to VCRs to DVRs to On Demand to hitting ok on the Roku remote when you wish to watch anything basically.
From the majority of programming on Network/Cable Channels to the majority of programming now on Streaming Services to in 5-10 ( at the most) years, all programming on streaming services.
Etc, etc, etc
You still have at least another 8-10 years before you have to start worrying about Sats ....
Why can't you stream ichigan football games ?
Most are on FOX, Fox Sports should have all the games.
I haven't needed to stream any Buckeye games as they are on TRADITIONAL TV just fine every week.
I think MOST of ichigan games are also on traditional tv ... when I was helping friends in Florida, they never had any issues getting Buckeye games, why would ichigan be any different ?
Its been available to Students for quite awhile now.
That said, its still not available to just anybody, still have to be a D* sub.
Im saying..they dont watch sports..so they wont spend $ 300 just because its not on directv
That'll save us all several posts of you doubling down and pivoting whenever you're soundly proven wrong again and again I suppose.
Then again, that'd depend on you actually leaving it on ignore and not just saying you've done it.
