I recently paid $900 for three nosebleed seats to the team’s home opener. And as a DirecTV subscriber, I paid more than $300 a season for a NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for years. This season, I had to buy my NFL Ticket subscription from a streaming provider, YouTube TV, for $399, and I’m already feeling nostalgic for the days when I could simply turn on the TV and watch a game. Google signed a seven-year deal with the NFL, paying $2 billion a year for the rights to broadcast Sunday games. But my $399 commitment doesn’t cover me for every Bills game this season. I need my DirecTV subscription, which costs about $150 a month, for two Monday night games on ESPN. I need a streaming subscription to Peacock to see a Saturday game against the Chargers. And I need an Amazon Prime membership to see a Thursday night game against the Buccaneers. As recently as a few years ago, I could watch most sports with a DirecTV subscription. Now, many of the events I want to see require additional subscriptions. I’m not against new technology—I loved the introduction of digital video recording. But I find streaming sports to be less functional and convenient, particularly games on demand. The NFL and other leagues risk alienating casual fans if they keep pushing their content to costly streaming options. Read more at the link in @wsjopinion’s bio.
