Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
NFL broadcasting has always been an absurd money grab (for instance from 1973 through 2014, a home game could not be televised in the team's local market if 85 percent of the tickets were not sold out 72 hours before the starting time of the match) and the internet/streaming only made it worse.
I remember my dad being so pissed about this! I'm 48 and think that I've heard more games than I've watched. By a lot, probably.
