I used the TSN Canadian feed, and there were commercials, as well as public service spots sponsored by the Canadian government. Something we had here in the US before cable took over everything.

When they gave Amazon the exclusive rights to the Thursday night games, I knew it would be just a matter of time before the NFL expanded this new source of revenue. Greed knows no bounds.

Sports fans who attend the games are among the most gullible suckers there are. The NFL, NBA, and other major sports know that fans will keep packing stadiums and arenas for the 'big' games, no matter how high the tickets are.

Can you imagine a family of four in Dallas, spending upwards of a thousand dollars in tickets, parking, and concessions, to watch that shit-show performance by 'America's' team?

Yet they'll continue paying, and the NFL will keep raising their prices, as long as sports fans continue being gullible suckers.
