shawn306 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 hour ago, FloridaJetsFan said: Anyone find it unusual that the KC/MIA game is being touted as one of the coldest in NFL history. But in Buffalo, where the temps won't get as dangerously cold as KC, they're moving the game to Monday. I guess if Peacock is paying the big bucks, they want it in the timeslot they pushed for - damn the fans. I think they have shutdown or are going to shutdown travel in the state. So people would not be able to drive to the stadium anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alka Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 On 1/9/2024 at 2:01 PM, David Harris said: NFL is a whore. I'll be boycotting this. Fans Rightfully Crush NFL and NBC for Putting AFC Playoff Game Exclusively on Peacock (msn.com) The NFL playoffs start this coming weekend and there’s one thing fans of all teams can agree on—it stinks that the NFL and NBC will be airing an AFC playoff game exclusively on Peacock. That’s right, if you want to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play either the Pittsburgh Steelers or Miami Dolphins, you’ll have to subscribe to Peacock to see the game. The NFL has been getting into the streaming business the past few years, but this is the first time fans will have to pay extra to see a playoff game. And there’s a reason for that—money. I would only do it if the Jets were playing in the game. I wouldn't do it for this game, or any other NFL game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 These costs add up charging for services in past always included or for free. It's part of the business culture getting every possible penny you can out of customers. And while you're at it push them to gamble on line.

Integrity28 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Oh, and to be clear, price gouging is an extension of supply and demand which is definitively part of the free market. So, you’re wrong at the micro and macro level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you control a market and it's a necessary product you can charge 10x that and get it. 1.) You are comparing apples and oranges. The NFL not charging us more for their product. The supply and demand for the NFL product is unchanged. The free market and advancing technology has created a new industry for myriad content carriers, as a result of the price gouging of cable carriers. Capitalism is exactly why there is a Peacock, Paramount, etc. Now, most of these carriers pay for exclusive rights licensing to carry content on their platform. We, as consumers, wanted an alternative to cable, got it, and it’s very predictably led to high costs + sprawl of choices. 2.) If you want cost control, which I fully understand, then what regulating institution would you expect to mediate that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnie Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It's like with insulin. Supply and demand and return says $35 a month. But if you control a market and it's a necessary product you can charge 10x that and get it. Problem is with multiple suppliers peacock, Amazon, NFL Network, YouTube, restricting playoff game access to one retailer feels like collusion and gouging. The consumer is getting raped repeatedly.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 You're probably right not an accurate comparison. But price gouging is for real and a major reason for inflation. And charging for services that were complimentary making up venues like NFL+ etc is indirectly price gouging because consumers are paying more for the same service they used to get cheaper.

Rangers9 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Look $6 x let's say 10 million people is $60 million. $60 million consumers had now in the pockets of big business. Now that's a good haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am right. It’s just basic economics. Price gouging is what we’ve all experienced the past several months, with milk and eggs. Companies ride the wave of perceived “inflation” to artificial gouging on items that will affect low income folks. Eggs, milk, soda, and fast food have been nuts with gouging. However, this is not what’s happening with the NFL. The NFL was never complimentary. The licensing with cable was different, but make no mistake that blackouts and the Heidi game happened because of the contract the NFL had with cable companies, and nothing is free or complimentary. You just paid for it differently. The issue is that the NFL has diversified their licensing contracts with all the new carriers, when they used to have 1. We wanted an alternative to cable, we busted up that monopoly where they were guilty of price gouging, but now you have to pay for different providers (or choose which ones you’ll miss out on). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike135 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just goes to show the power the NFL has though. I used to watch a bunch of Yankee games. Work from home a ton, and baseball is perfect as background noise and something you only have to occasionally direct your attention to. YES Network was dropped from YouTubeTV, instead of subscribing to the YES app... I didn't watch any Yankee game (or any MLB game) this year. One damn NFL playoff game goes to Peacock, and I cave in.

Yup. I'll cancel immediately. Any movies or shows myself/family/friends want to see are taken care of by other means. No need for these services for anything other than NFL.
