Our family is enjoying thanksgiving and are all here and agree that is extremely unreasonable of the nfl to charge consumers to enjoy a national sport, which historically was family entertainment and costs incorporated under basic network tv and/or cable.

Sitting around the fire after dinner and watching football with family was enjoyable growing up. Tonight could not watch the denver / kansas game after eating and are watching some other program. For years this has been part of our holiday and today we were told by our brighthouse representative that they would not subject their customers to such costs and would not promote some nfl package and thursday night extra deal. We all agree and are outraged at the nfl and the monetary benefits they want to gain from consumers on something that should be included at no charge.

Our cable bill today is $175 per month, which is $2100 a year. Now, do you think that it is unreasonable for a customer of any cable company to ask that these games be included at no charge. I am really disappointed in the nfl. The change in business strategy from decades ago up to this date. The nfl does not realize what they are taking away from our young adolescent viewers, parents, consumers, sports fans, etc... Including but not limited to the happiness that have taken away and what we as customers really perceive them as... A greedy giant that wants more money.

Please be the voice for us, we are too small and unless we pull together, they will continue to nickel and dime consumers... It is very sad, especially when I look into the living room and see all the guys in my family upset and the little boys come out in them as if they were just gut punched because they cannot watch a simple game on tv and a game that was once enjoyed and all had a passion for and historical salaries compared to the salaries today clearly show what football has become. Somebody better do something.

Your decision to play the halftime pornography show is reprehensible. I've asked many people (women mostly) who all agreed that the show was in awful taste, felt like porn (for those of us who don't really have experience with that) and in general, completely shown in very bad, diabolical taste. Shame on you! If there's a suit, I want to join in.

Horrible Half Time Show !
What message are we sending to our young viewers on how to view women.
This is further evidence that money and the crumbling of our core values are what the NFL truly values. Shame on the NFL...

The NFL is supposed to unite all people, especially families. Allowing that disgusting show attempts to teach young girls they can get attention by gyrating in the nude. What a disgrace to women, the NFL, and this country. A formal apology is necessary and expected- from the NFL, the nearly nude insecure strippers, and the FCC

I think the NFL’s suspension of DeSean Watson is not nearly harsh enough. He molested dozens of women and gets a slap on the hand. This is bad for the NFL and society- this is not setting a good example. It continues enabling of violent and/or sexual predator NFL players by simply giving them light treatment. Shame, shame on the NFL.

I am surprised that Deshaun Watson was given a six game suspension as he was never convicted of a crime. The crime is suspending Deandre Hopkins six games for substance abuse? not even an illegal drug or significant amount. What gives?

I hope the NFL realizes that if they allow this predator to play after only 6 game suspension many of us will stop watching your games. 30 women were violated and he just goes back to playing as usual...it speaks volumes about the NFL and how they feel about women being assaulted by their players. Shame on Cleveland and shame on you.

08/13/23 Steelers vs Seahawks. They only broadcast half of the game, then switched to Broncos vs Cowboys. Either your broadcasting a game or not. Period. I paid money to watch the Steelers. Had I known the game was not going to be broadcast in full, I wouldn't have wasted my money!

Hi,

I have been a subscriber of NFL Game Pass for several years. Now I suscribed with my Ipad on 8/13/2022 for NFL+ Premium, but when I try to see the games it says that it is not available. I live in Puerto Rico.

Please let me know what options I have.

I just saw an article on the internet. That just in time for football season Amazon raised their price from $119.00 to $139.00. Another reason to give up on the NFL and find alternatives to watch,

I can only listen. Why can't I watch. NFL.com are scam artists. Let me watch, or refund my money! You need to let me know what is happening before I initiate a lawsuit. You will reply immediately

Sunday, NFL ZONE

The Banner is not needed on the NFL Zone, it’s in the way of following the current information of game being featured. And it’s a distraction. The regular NFL channel has all of this information. Come on man, give us a break. Let us focus on the games.

On 08/22/2022. I ordered NFL +. As senior, disabled woman, the NFL is my passion. I saved to order NFL + to watch as many games as possible. I now understand that I have to watch on DEVICES. So I just threw my $$ down the drain. You have many seniors can’t do that. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THE NFL WANT!

It’s unbelievable the NFL chose Amazon only in the U.S., to broadcast the Thursday games. We can’t watch it in Canada! This is so unfair. We’ve been watching football for thirty years! How dare you do this to us!

Really disappointed NFL. No other way to watch?! I have Amazon Prime, but like a lot of people, my internet is too slow to stream and now way to improve the speed without spending a lot more money on internet. You just said goodbye to a lot of viewers.

So disappointed that Thursday Night Football is only on Amazon! We've been Football fans for 30+ years and have never heard of such a thing to have to pay for a streaming service to watch a game! Having to pay $15/month or $139/year to watch one game a week is a disgrace to your fans.

Many of us still depend on broadcast TV. Some of us because spending money on technology rather than food or rent makes no sense. The NFL is an American tradition. It seems as though you care nothing about the entirety of the American people. Just the ones who can line your greedy pockets!

As a result of the NFL trying to charge me to watcht the game on my 4" cell phone as opposed to my 40 inch TV, ROTFLMAO.

I'm already paying $150 a month for cable. Heads need to roll.

I have also deleted th NFL App from my phone.

Bernie Harrison, unhappy about the GREED.

The NFL is still advertising that one can WATCH NFL games on NFL Plus. One cannot do this. One can LISTEN to NFL Games on NFL Plus.

Please note that today I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about what I feel is internet fraud being perpetrated by the NFL and its streaming service NFL Plus.

I have a subscription to NFL plus, my name is Robert Trout, I live at 1678 Monroe St., Laramie. WY 82070. On my computer, I sign into NFL plus but I when I go to listen to games all I get is offer to buy another subscription. Which I already own. Signing out and in does not change, I still cannot listen to games. Please fix.

I no longer have access to games I paid for on 8/8/22 I've been streaming until 10/19/22 now I get the message "can't find my account" So the previous 500 request only 7 were resolved. No a good number for a company that is dependant on fans.

You’ve killed the game by excessive delays on challenges. I’m watching Sunday games and the offenses are moving the ball and 5gen a challenge comes to kill momentum. Replays TV clearly show the call on the field is correct but it took over 4 minutes to get the call. Ridiculous. It’s worse in the NCAA.

Support the military

Please go back to cable channels. My Dad is 88 years old and misses watching football on Thursday night. He’s 88 years old and lives in an Assisted Living Facility. He doesn’t stream and cannot figure out Prime in his room. Please don’t go the streaming route - you’re leaving out the generation that made you what you are.

I live in Oklahoma City. Why am I being forced to watch KC, a team sure to win their division play the worst team in the NFL?!? The Lions / Jets game has playoff implications and would be so more more fun to watch. At the least that game needs to be flexed. This would be for Week 15, December 18, 2022
