F' The NFL and the Horse They Rode In On

[Lucky Luciano]

i've seen this coming for some time now. these greedy B;stard  owners and corporate NFL are making this sport a pay-per-view item. they enjoy tax benefits from us but that is not enough, they want more.

soon, all local games are going to be broadcast on some pay channel with the 'possible' exception of the ability to watch out of conference games just like they did with college football. all playoff games will be PPV. soon you will even have to pay to watch the SB. if something isn't done soon you can kiss watching NFL games over the air in local broadcasts in your area goodbye.

below is an email i sent to God-ell and his cronie Anna Isaacson. if you agree with this write to them and your representatives in washington and even local state reps. if you feel motivated to copy and paste or revise some of the email i sent on every sports board you frequent.

enough is freaking enough!!!!!

EDIT: i am also going to send my displeasure to the bears and their owners who must have ok'd this crap. you should do the same.

 How Much Greed Is Enough For You People?

 Roger Goodell;

Anna Isaacson;

 This is the way you treat your fans of decades by jamming it down our throats to pay to watch the NFL? The fans that brought you to the pinnacle of professional sports you just wipe your feet on for more personal gain?

If you want to turn the NFL into a cash cow for the big streaming corporations then it's ALSO time for the corporate NFL to be turned off of the taxpayers dole. $3.2 billion in federal taxpayer dollars has been used to finance professional sports stadiums since 2000. This dole is for some of the richest corporations and highest paid CEO's in the United States. Yet our tax dollars aren't enough to satisfy your/their draconian greed?

 The Tax Reform Act of 1986 wanted to end the exemptions for private use, including stadiums. Instead, the bill inadvertently created a loophole allowing stadiums to be backed by tax-free public bonds. It's time that loophole was CLOSED. Let the billionaire owners and corporate NFL pay their share instead of us.

 I know a letter/email is going out to my representatives in Washington to shut off any and all taxpayer support or funding that the NFL may glean.

 As for myself? I have stopped watching Major League Baseball because of the greed and stupidity. I have stopped watching College Football since they now require me to pay a cable company to watch local teams.

 I have watched and promoted the NFL for over 65 years. I have purchased thousands of dollars over this span of time in merchandise and game tickets.

 I will never purchase any Pay-Per-View venue to watch the NFL. I will never purchase a pennies worth of NFL sponsored products. I will never purchase another game ticket and I will boycott all advertisers on your broadcasts after informing them of the reason why.

 So welcome to the average persons cost of doing business as you float around on your yachts.

 Thanks for nothing,
