NFL dropping T.V. blackouts for 2015 season

The Wall Street Journal reports the league will no longer black out non-sold out games on local television for the 2015 season.

Per reporter Kevin Clark, the league will "evaluate how it goes after the season," but it's hard to see this policy coming back. It's been under fire for years — including from Richard Nixon — and was under attack in Congress as recently as December. It's an outdated policy for a game driven by television ratings.

That rule never made any sense anyway. Either from the FCC or the NFL.

 

The Chicago Blackhawks did that for years right before they got Toews and Kane and got good again. The only way you'd know how the Hawks did one night was to either go or read about it in the paper. Such ass backwards thinking.
