Forget socialism, we are at the point where even free market capitalist competition is too much to ask. If they want us to buy their product, offer some cool features that make us choose to buy it, like how one of the streaming services gives Peyton and Eli commentary. Compete.
But competition and offering better products will not maximize profits. So instead, we get mafia-style extortion rackets, not a utopia of quality consumer goods.
We should not downplay this just because there are many things more important in life than football. This is a microcosm of a bigger problem in our society: how the banks and monopolies have control of, and ruin, everything. This is just 1 of the many ways in which your life is negatively affected by the overarching problem. If this is what it takes to get you to start seeing it, then get started.

I really don’t need Peacock, YouTube, although I do have Amazon for the trash Thursday night games. There are ways to get any and every game on your phone for nothing. Not ideal for parties or anything, but if you are either sitting watching one and want a real time peek at another, there ya go. Any game. For myself, at work a lot during gametimes, punch it up and there it is. A little work will free you of griping about paying for a free trial, forgetting about it, then getting nut-kneed for $62 for next 3 months because you forgot to cancel.
