But why should anyone have to break the law to watch the Mets?

    Mark my words. It’s going to come to a point where you have to subscribe to your team each season to watch them play. They will throw in some bullshit extras like exclusive player interviews but it will all be a play to make you pay each season.

      You say this like it’s a bad thing. If I could get away with just paying for my one hockey team, instead of the legit, 3 fucking services you have to have currently to watch an entire season, I would do it on a heartbeat.

        3?? Lol, I only watch Hockey and look at this shit. I have to pay $250 CAD just to get NHL while I don’t give no fuck about anything else. Fuck that. I used to pay for NHLTV but now they don’t sell it in Canada anymore. So fuck’em.

        Oh, forgot, they also have blackouts on certain games/regions.

      They actually would be nice, but my soccer team, all TV rights are owned by corps that want to sell you 200$/month packages, so my team can sell me access to watch their games NON LIVE. Meaning I can watch them… After they’ve been played which is bullshit.

      I wouldn’t mind paying 5$/month for my teams games only, but it’s not really an option, so pirating it is!
