Entertainment we watch becomes part of our culture. It is absorbed and forms part of our thoughts. It becomes part of our self, and more often than not that part is owned by someone else. NFL is a great example. It is part of shared American culture. Of course people are pissed when someone wants to charge rent on some part of their identity. The rights are very much on the side of producers, and not enough on the side of consumer rights. Maybe society will address this and grant itself the rights it seems to want.

I grew bored with Television over 4 years ago, I bought a 86" Tv 4 years ago also and I've never cared enough to take it out of it's box. If I get bored enough I'll watch something using free streaming services. I just buy physical discs of anything I might want to watch. Friends tried to get me to watch football and other sports but it's just too boring. I know the rules but it's just people chasing a ball back and forth. To enjoy sports you have to care who wins, and I don't care, who wins or loses means nothing to me.
