dope man Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) ESPN reported on Facebook that AT&T has authorized cancellation and refunds of the Sunday Ticket due to the sensitivity of the issue at hand. I'm calling them tomorrow and wanted to pass this along to anyone thinking of doing the same. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20829346/directv-offering-refunds-fans-wishing-cancel-nfl-sunday-ticket-package?sf117014259=1 Edited September 27, 2017 by dope man Adding link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This is the critical problem with politicians, of all persuasions - they try to inject themselves into every aspect of daily life and turn everything into a political decision, or a political commentary. How far are we going to take this us v them insanity? Enough is enough aholes - we're all trying to be socially responsible and respectful but at the end of the day all we want to do is WATCH FOOTBALL. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 If you don't want to watch people kneel for the national anthem just tune into the game after the kickoff. Problem solved. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Sure, you may not see if you turn on the game at 1:05 or 4:30, but you'll be hearing about it for the next 3 hours 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Most fans, most owners, and most players are getting put in to the middle of something they have no interest in being a part of. If you love football and stop watching because of the protests, you are allowing yourself to be victimized. You are letting them win. Ain't no one taking football away from me. I'll give you my remote when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. Edited September 27, 2017 by michaelredd9 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboyz1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I have never seen a President so hell bent on dividing people instead of leading them to value and respect one another's opinions. This 70 year old man child feasts on conflict which is exactly what this world needs less of. I sincerely hope people are paying attention and realize how one vote can put and entire country into purgatory. Hell I just want to watch football. The SOB twitter troll who started this should be fired for incompetence,dereliction of duty, and dumbasserdry. He'll go down as the worst President in U.S. history. That is if we survive the coming wars he's about to start with his stupidity and ignorance. Amazing how one man has found a way to piss off every segment of America accept Hillbilly Alabama. Honestly, it's like he looks for opportunities to piss people off. Truly amazing for the supposed leader of the free world.

Divide was already present, the pres and the media just have a knack for exacerbating it. Funny thing is both sides are currently valid. The players have the ability to this form of protest while working because their contract has no rules against it and fans have the right to withdraw their support and money. Yet here we are just continuing on about how this side or the other is wrong and throwing blame on one person or another for divisiveness. Very much seems like the pot and the kettle at this point. I'll get out of this threads way though... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's debating whether players kneeling is disrespectful to the anthem and the military etc, nobody is discussing why Kaep and others protested originally so nobody has to address the actual issue at hand which is what Trump wants.

Busby Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Maybe it’s been mentioned somewhere so sorry if this has been asked but with all the players and now owners showing some type of solidarity, why haven’t the owners/teams stepped up and signed Keap? Yes I know he is not that good but he is better than some backups out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was going to be your starter, maybe, but for a backup QB I think not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I don't understand all the hoopla around the Sunday Ticket. If I had it, I'd imagine that watching it would end up being similar to watching the RedZone channel. Except for the RedZone channel changes the channels for you to the best games and gets you up to date on what is happening. If you really want to watch a specific game, stream it on the internet. And for those who don't want to listen to the announcers talk about the protests, turn the volume off. 75% of the time I watch football with no sound. I do miss out on a lot of background information and analysis but I get tired of listening to the talking heads. I do usually listen on Sunday nights and Monday nights because I like Chris Collinsworth, Al Michaels and Jon Gruden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesn't stop they will ban the National Anthem from all sporting events and make flying the American flag illegal, just to make sure no one is offended. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then more players protested, owners and the NFL backed them up and told Trump to GUMMI BEAR. That made it a big story, in another week or two it will die down. 13 hours ago, Cowboyz1 said: I have never seen a President so hell bent on dividing people instead of leading them to value and respect one another's opinions.

PS I read a story about this and it stated that AT&T was not willing to confirm this or give any numbers. Will be interesting to hear any first hand accounts of what happened when you called to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
