[...] NFL Commits Marketing Fumble by Blacking Out Fans As a San Diego Chargers fan, I can attest to how frustrating the black outs are. We’ve dealt with them for several years now. Instead of watching at home, we’ve had to find a restaurant or bar that is broadcasting the game if we want to see it. Good for the establishments, but not as easy on our wallets as staying home. I really wish the NFL would realize that these stunts make us find other things to do besides watch football. And really, that only hurts them. Or in reality, the local team. And that’s too bad.

Not only are college sports “pure and innocent” but you have to admire these student athletes who have to balance school and sports with little to no guarantee that they will play organized games after their senior year. Not being a fan of football, I can’t say this new information about TV blackouts will affect my fall and winter….but have a few friends who WILL have their Sunday afternoons impacted by this new turn of events. On the bright side this news may be a good thing for the local pubs…if they invest in the NFL Sunday Ticket cable channel and then advertise and run a few drink specials, perhaps their barstools will be sold out, and the community can still support these branded bank accounts that call themselves a team.
