People spend money on things they enjoy. Fans of football buy NFL Sunday Ticket so they can watch their favorite team each week. For the second time in a year the NFL has moved a Dolphins game to a different time due to weather.
Despite the fact that the television signal could be broadcast to all the paying customers, they will not do that. Paying customers get no product at all.
I encourage you to drop them a line and tell them about young fans sitting in a hospital rooms that are just feeling good because their favorite team is about to play on television. As they get told that they won’t get to see their heros that week, how do you think they feel right then. I hope the NFL executives feel that way until they provide a product to customers and fans.
Feel free to write to them at: National Football League, 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017
Call them at: (212) 450-2000
Or email the NFL on this form.
Be sure to tell them about little Johnny in the hospital room waiting to see his heros.

I had the Ticket in cville for the past three years (Chiefs fan). This year I finally stopped that automatic resubscription during the summer because I was tired of getting upset (as you are now) when games would not be shown (a couple of “blackouts” even though we’re not in an NFL market and we get waivers for national CBS and Fox feeds). Being so upset (as one formerly-whole front door will attest) was not worth being able to see the other games. I’ve been pretty lucky thus far this season to catch KC games on NY or LA feeds or MNF and SNF. I was excited about the possibility of ESPN or someone catching tonight’s game nationally, but they are “respecting high school and college football”. Suuure. Anyway, I totally empathize.
At least with the Chiefs you have a chance to win each week. Watching the Fins for the past five years has been brutal on the psyche. It is funny that my time here in the village has mirrored the decline of the Fins from a respected team to the the cellar of the league.
I’ll be rooting for the Chiefs and Surtain in the playoffs this year.
I don’t like the policies the NFL follow in the broadcasts of their games. I live in Clearwater, Florida and at 1:00 PM I began to watch the Giants-Vikings game. Unfortunately for me, I live in the Tampa Bay area and Fox had to switch over to the Buccaneers-Redskins game before the other game was over. What did I miss? Only the Gaints getting a two-point conversion to tie the game and then the Vkings getting the game winning field goal( I still have no clue had the Vikings did that). Why show me a one o’clock game if there is a chance I can see the end of it? This situation was bad enough, how bad could your procedures be at the end of the season if the hometown team is playing a meaningless game, and the game before it has playoff implications. It is definitely better to miss the beginning of a game than to miss the end of a close game. It would like switching off the end of a movie to allow local networks to show news. The NFL needs to apologize to all football fans in the Tampa Bay area for their short-sided and idiotic policies.
