Redzone channel will have full commercials.

There are times in the afternoon slot where a break would be appropriate.
Also if they’re including the redzone at no additional cost, I don’t mind them subsidizing that with ads.
Premium services with ads! Unless you pay for premium plus platinum an extra 10.99.
That seems to be what all streaming services are doing. Better off just going back to cable now except everything is spread across premium subscriptions now

I can barely make it to the end of my TV shows on sling now there are so many commercials. These streaming services have gotten so greedy that you can't sit down and then just enjoy watching something.
It all boils down to the fact that everybody wants money. Football doesn't make enough money as it is now.
What’s gonna take up more time?
2 to 3 mins total of commercials over 7 hrs or that song that gets sung before the national anthem that isn’t that big of a deal to you?
1. It's called slippery slope. It starts this little but then slowly you'll tolerate more and more until redzone is having full screen commercials every 5 minutes. For a paid premium service offered 18 days out of the year - that's ridiculous to have any. If it was free, different story.
2. So weird how the "lift every voice" song is on trial and all the complaints about it could fit for the national anthems being played before sports games. Both songs are "out of place" and "bore fans" in what should be "hype up moments". But both songs also "pay respect to a broad range of folks" and "give a sense of pride".
I'm of the opinion that we should keep sports about sports and keep politics out. Which a lot of people agree with hearing that sentence but then don't like when I say that means we shouldn't do national anthems except on special occasions (vet's day; 9/11; memorial day) because those are much more impactful - I still remember how awesome NC State 2021 felt. I'd much rather hear my school's marching band play songs that give me pride about my school when watching college football than think about the country. It even feels like more political theater televising these songs for a private organization like the 20 minutes of slog before kickoff last night.
I’m assuming you are really young and don’t remember watching movies on TBS and FX
The overwhelming majority of movies on tv and games on tv have always had commercials and a lot of 17ing commercials.
but speaking of a slippery slope
Sure you aren’t smart enough to realize how hypocritical or lack of critical reasoning this is
having a “black” national anthem and a “white” national anthem is about as slippery as tou can get
is segregation good or bad?
ETA: you have a choice with redzone
You can simply not pay for it. Capitalism and all.

TV used to not have any commercials at all in the first broadcasts. And then it slowly creeped in with the brought to you bys until it kept sliding further into the shittiness. It happens to every service every time. Movies used to not have ads. Now they have 30 minutes of them before the damn movie.
And idc about having two anthems. I want none. It's ****** sports - leave the politics out of it. You wanna make it a race thing when I just wanna grill and watch football. Woke snowflakes politicizing everything.
Can’t really understand how the national anthem of America is political unless you are unamerican
Do you play the national anthem over the loudspeaker every day before going to work at your private business? No.
Why is football different then? It's all political theater.
It's a bygone product of when sports were a reprieve for men who served our country during war. Ain't no football or baseball players (save the service academies) in the military. It's just out of place. It was about the men on the field.
Now it's just political theater. People protest during it. People whine about people protesting. It's detached from sports. If you can't see that it's wholly out of place and just an opportunity for woke idiots to grandstand (and i don't mean just liberals, i'm using the definition of the word woke as we use it now, anything I don't like) - then idk what to tell you.
I'm here to watch sports. If it's country vs. country, sure play both. If it's Army or Navy or AF vs. whomever - play it. If it's Vet's day, play it. If it's memorial day, have a moment of silence to allow anyone to pray how they need, then play it.
But a random ****** thursday in september between the Cowboys and the Eagles - what the **** is the point? Waste of time playing that song and other lame songs like Lift up every voice. This is a football game hosted by a private corporation. It's weird and out of place.
