What a bunch of whiners. "Waaahh, they are trying to pressure providers into signing workable contracts, much like one already has, in order to allow fans to see games. I got mine, legally or not, so others can stuff it, and/or the team's channel can fold. I would rather hockey be 2nd/3rd/4th choice on a shared channel than 1st/2nd on a dedicated network, if it meant not having to see a few ads/banners or listen to some catch phrases."
Y'all complain more about a few plugs for a broadcast partner than you do about the crappy officiating some nights. And I can just imagine the whining about this post already. Yeah, there is some strawmanning....but god it seems like that is the attitude of at least some in here.
