I know I'm not paying to watch football games on TV, especially when they still have commercials.


Have you been using an antenna the past 40 years?
Everyone I know has paid for cable/satellite/or a streaming package the past 40 years with commercials.

This "how dare they" mantra seems confusing and revisionist.

That's why they frick us, because so many people like your friends are willing to just stick their arse up in the air and ask for it. If people balked at getting charged and getting commercials, they wouldn't be able to do it.

What's revisionist is that when they came out with cable in the early 80s, they told us there wouldn't be commercials because there would be a monthly fee instead. After a few years they sprung the commercials on us. They got away with it because too many American consumers are lazy and just went along with it.

frick ESPN and cable TV.
