Blackout rule must end!
This entire blackout situation has gotten completely out of hand and there are no good reasons for keeping it in effect any longer.
How can someone be blacked out for something they are paying for? How can a fan be blacked out from seeing their team when the team is on the road? Where is the logic behind continuing to abuse fans who are paying more and more each year to support their teams? How can the blackout rule be different between cable television and cable internet? Why should any network have rights to show every game, blocking local broadcasts, and be unwilling to show every game - even based on local markets?
When I pay for a product, I expect to be able to use that product at my convenience - not at the convenience of the company I purchased it from.
The time has long passed for this blackout rule to be wiped from the books. We are paying to view these games, All we want is to get what we pay for.
