Give the explanation of how it all works, then post the links/applications where you get free legal access to all NFL games without security issues to your devices etc... It can't be that hard for such a knowledgeable person such as you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No payments, no security issues, no "theft of intellectual property" (gotta admit, that one really made me chuckle). Since you seem so keen on insisting on paying for things you can get for free, please send me $100 for the above advice. Actually, for the low low price of $250, I'll also include such tutorials as "How to get free drinking water" and "How to listen to real-time streaming audio for free over a magical device called 'radio'."

Also, let's take a moment to see how we got to this point: sderk argued that fans' money is "funneled into players' pockets". So now you clods are down to arguing that fans pay for their cable package, which allows them to watch a wide range of shows (of which football makes up a tiny percentage), which aggregates an audience for those shows, which allows broadcast networks to sell ads against that audience, which gives the networks money to spend on TV rights, which the league distributes to each team, which then provides owners money to pay out to players in the form of salaries? That's a long-a$$ funnel! So in conclusion you guys are all moral cretins who don't understand basic concepts like broadcast television and free-market economics. As an empathetic person, I genuinely feel bad for you having to go through life with such handicaps, but I can't afford to waste any more of my life trying to help you. I will, however, continue to pray that one day scientists find a cure for your rare form of stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone wants to be one of the 0.02% of the population without cable, yes, you can get NFL for free. Also, I don't see how you can make an argument against sderk's assertion that the fans eventually pay the players salaries in from some form or fashion. I don't really know of any private person who willingly donates money to the NFL out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm pretty sure all of the money that the NFL brings in comes from either the TV contracts (because of people paying for their service), Sponsors (because people are buying their products), as well as ticket sales, merchandise, and concessions (because people are buying them). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,066 Posted January 13, 2020 The original implication was that someone could watch any game for free. At least it read that way. Over-the-air broadcasts won't let you see any game for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will, but sderk specifically asked if he could see any game and the super moral dude didn't clarify that it was just over-the-air games. If I'm in LA, I get Chargers, Rams, and Raiders games over the air. I can't watch my beloved saints unless they're in prime time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, there's no such thing as free drinking water either... unless you have a well in your back yard. People pay property taxes, and/or water/sewer bills every month. That's paying for the water coming out of your faucet. If you go to a park or a school and use a fountain, that's being paid for by taxes. If you go to a mall or shopping complex, that's being paid for as well by someone... and indirectly, you, if you purchased anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They think because they can walk up to a fountain and get water, it costs no one anything. Maybe he'll say we should be collecting rain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
