MLB blackout rules are out of control

[DravenX]

That sucks. I live in Hampton VA and when the Braves play the Nationals it's blacked out. I get the Nationals station here. I hate blackouts all together. If I want to see a game than I expect to see it. We pay $100+/year to watch games and they want to have blackout restrictions? It's stupid.

For my job, I was at a home in Nebraska the other night when the Rockies and Cardinals were playing. People in this area of Nebraska get both FSN Rocky Mtn and Midwest. BOTH channels were blacked out, and I highly doubt the game was on a local network channel (and I also didn't see it on ESPN/ESPN2) so it would suck to be a fan of either team when they play each other.

Stupid, really.

I hate that also. If you pay for a premimum packsage, it should not matter. That is ridiculous. I totally agree.

[Pronk48]

I totally agree, it's stupid. If they are charging that much, there shouldn't be a blackout rule.

I guess I chose the wrong day to rant.

Someone else who has it said it was going to be blacked out today due to FOX Saturday Baseball and I took his word for it because they have done that before, but it appears I have today's game.

The blackout rules are still retarded, though.
