WOW!
Hubris at an all-time high.
Last year, you could watch the preseaon for $20.
This year, it is $99.00 because as noted above, it is bundled into a full season application.
Yet, you look at the reviews and this application has been HORRIBLE, absolutely worthless to most that paid $100 and tried to use the application.
I already have the NFL ticket, and I AM NOT PAYING $100 for 3 preseason games, and a scrimmage. Screw that. I like the Cardinals but I can wait the few hours to record the game on NFL Network, and watch it later.
RIDICULOUS.
If it were not for the amazing talent on the field this league would be tanking right now, because the management of the league is HORRENDOUS. Goodell is the poster child of uber-wealth people that do not have a clue how to do anything but spend money, be a dictator, and think they are doing a good job but are not. What happens when you have a horrible upper management team for a product that sells itself, is the people below adapt and work around the madness at the top to try and produce something of worth.
Not surprised a poor decision of bundling this application is follow by a large scale failure during its release. That is new age, uber-wealth lead business for you. Clueless and blind because the money pit is too deep and they can't see over it.
So, yeah, NO WAY on preseason streaming this year. NO WAY!
Couldn't agree more. Especially the part when the situation sets itself up where a product sells itself, or they have a monopoly, or just no competitors, and they think they are doing everything right and it's because of their decisions they are making money, instead of just being in a lucky/perfect situation to make money... and they are DESPITE their decisions.
Of course, eventually this situation flips and then everything collapses around them because they find out the hard way that they are clueless, and don't know how to do anything. (Sadly the average Joe working who tries to fight this... if they aren't fired to begin with for raising concerns, they are fired as the fallout of the collapse of the idiocy... and the people at the top get golden parachutes)
As long as the money flows (or funny money), everyone at the top can do no wrong and their decisions, no matter how insane, are bulletproof.
The NFL is DEFINITELY in this situation, and Mark Cuban isn't far off with his poignant criticism.
Lots of companies are. Spybook and Suckerberg is one, Apple and their iWatch is another. The way we allocate money in this country is so inefficient it's hilariously bad. At this point, almost every IPO is a scam.
Does anyone realize that right now, ~78 percent of IPO's are unprofitable, which is 2% greater then at the peak of the dot com bubble!
Anyways, I'm done, just wanted to showcase that the NFL isn't alone, it's rampant throughout Wall Street, with basically anything it touches, and there will be massive consequences the average Joe will have to pay for it.
