National Football League [NFL]
reviews and complaints

I am in lower Delaware. We usually get almost all of Philadelphia games on Fox and all Washington games on Fox. But for some reason the NFL flexed AFC games to Fox on 9/25/2022. So now no one in our area can watch Phil/Wash game on tv. And the CBS channel here has Jets/Bengals game. We will have to go out and find it at a bar or restaurant. Also Comcast removed Philadelphia Fox and CBS from our channel lineups citing "contract disputes" with the Philly channels.

Why must the NFL make it more difficult to view games? This move to Prime is almost the last straw, as I am feeling that this is the future of your money grubbing ways. I am dreading the loss of Direct TV as the primary broadcaster, as Apple appears to be in the lead for your ultimate downfall.

These moves are obviously made with ZERO concerns for the average football fan in America. What's next, Goodall? Pay to watch every contest, every week? If you can't see past the dollar mound in front of you, perhaps it's time to go. Give someone who actually cares about the fans, which does pay your insane salary to begin with. Keep up your path you have obviously chosen, and the NFL will be nothing more than a memory, and a sad one at that.

Capitalism will kill this sport, as well as your wish for billions more than already taken. Wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late, fool.

It really sucks that the NFL put TNF on Amazon Prime, not everyone has that. Now my husband is missing one of the biggest games of the year for the steelers and he is a HUGE steelers fan. I don't understand why they would do this, they keep doing this stupid stuff and most of the fans are going to stop watching all together. We pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket on direct tv just so we can watch all the NFL games and now we can't see Thursday night Football.

Prime is obviously not ready to broadcast NFL games. We have a subscription to Prime Video, but were unable to watch last week’s game, and are not able to watch this week’s game. It seems that the Prime streaming service is stretched to beyond capacity. It took us multiple tries last week and tonight to even get onto Prime. Then when we did the game was buffering so slowly that we could never actually watch the game. The NFL needs to put Thursday night football back on broadcast TV until some streaming service can handle the volume.

Putting Thursday night football on Prime Video is such a slap in the face of the average NFL fan. Prime video is not on my TV service plan, it was bad enough we had to wait for the NFL network after the NFL put Thursday night games there. So prime time National football is no longer available unless we spend more money.

all about the mighty dollar. I really don't expect you to change, just voicing my opinion.

You lost my loyalty,

I'm very sad that the NFL decided to air the Thursday night games on Amazon prime instead of a regular channel. Shame on you. This option costs money which now a days is stretched. I can't image your ratings haven't dropped because of this change. I love to watch my NFL games but am being left out!

Is there a chance this is going to be changed or also offered on a channel I don't have to pay for?

A concerned NFL fan!

Re: Tonight’s game 9/22/22 - Why do I have to subscribe to Amazon prime to watch this NFL game when I already have an enormous cable bill. You are making a huge mistake asking for MORE $$$$ to watch your already over paid players. You know I quit watching pro football after that kapernic caper - took me 4 years to come back! Keep this other crazy crap up and I’m done forever!

The NFL has the cheapest scoring out of all Sports. How can a touchdown be scored without legitimately, physically being in the end zone? The end zone is the hugest scoring zone of any sport and the ball and player should be required to be In it. The zone is 10 whole yards deep and over 53 yards (160 feet) wide. All your desperate player has to do is have the tip of a ball inside that huge rectangle of an end zone or hit a pylon without any of his body having anything to do with it. You owners are to overly desperate for your players to score. As far as I am concerned, that is not a very professional dignified way to play a sport. It is another way to show coming generations that they don't have to really accomplish something complete with dignity. Just do it ok. The touchdown should require a player with the ball have his body and the ball clearly across the goal line and inside the side lines, making complete physical contact with the turf inside. Yes, a pass can be caught with two feet touching inside the lines as well.

It is hard for me to enjoy watching a sport that does not hold dignified standards of scoring and behavior by the players.

Today 9/18/22 while watching the Bucs game I seen a display of unsportsmanlike behavior of a bunch of NFL players in general. But what i don't understand is why someone like Tom Brady isn't held accountable for his actions. His sideline antics of throwing a helmet, a computer tablet and the film crew always zeroing in on him when the "F" words start flying out of his mouth. Not to mention him taunting the other team's player which sparked the brawl and no taunting flag ever thrown on him. This makes it very hard for a father to explain to his son on what is going on and also my son asking why he's using bad language and acting like that. As much as Tom Brady is in the cameras eye, he as a great player and also as a father should no better because the world is watching. In my opinion I don't understand why someone of his stature gets such special treatment, he is setting a bad example and going to ruin the future of the NFL, meaning other QB's for instance are probably thinking of why they can't do the same things.

Can no longer look ups player stats on games. All I get are 2 lines, one longer to show who got the most of yards, turnovers, etc. Last year’s app was perfect. This year’s is junk. I keep deleting and reloading it in hope I did something wrong. Apparently espn or something is the only way to get the information that makes following football any fun.

We were sorely disappointed to discover that Thursday Night Football is only available streaming on Amazon Prime! The NFL takes such strong position on being anti-discriminatory; REALLY? By going soley to Prime streaming you are being hugely discriminatory! Discriminating against the "older generation" that doesn't know how to access that, discriminating against families that can't afford it, much less customers who have to rely on internet connection being reliable ! You've sold out thousands and thousands of football fans to big tech. SHAME ON YOU!

To Whom it may concern,

Hopefully this email gets to someone that can help. I live in Youngstown, OH. area, which is only 76 miles from Cleveland. But this up coming Sunday Sept. 18, the game that will be showing on our local station is the Pittsburgh vs New England game. I would love to go to more games if I could afford it or even pay for TV access to the games but being this close to Cleveland that should be unnecessary. These games should be shown in state.

I wanted to let you know that I'm not satisfied with the Amazon Thursday Night Football coverage. #1- There were mulitple "buffering" experiences throughout the game. I have a great WI-FI signal so it was very frustrating to have numerous pauses during live action. #2- I wasn't able to pause and re-start live action like most games I watch. I do have Xfinity (Comcast) with DVR service and not having the ability to pause and re-start live action was very disappointing. I realize the might dollar is king but I'm not excited to continue to watch Thursday night football on a streaming service. I'm 46 yrs old and have been a NFL football fan my whole life but things like this experience will make me reconsider. Thank you.

The UFC moved their fights to ESPN, and figured we would all just automatically the fee for ESPN AND the fee for UFC fights. That move saved me so much time and money, because I have not watched a single UFC fight, in person or on TV, since.

Can you guess what I'll be doing now that you think you can force me to pay for Amazon Prime just to watch TNF?

Thank you SO much for all the time you have freed up for me...time that used to be spent watching, what had already become increasingly irrelevant, NFL games.

Sincerely!

RE: Chiefs Game Programming

I would like someone to know that the NFL's choice for watching the game live tonight is revolting and disgusting.

I cannot believe that there is not any way to watch the Chargers @ Chiefs game 9/15/22 other than through an internet connection or Amazon prime, etc.

Pandering to Amazon and forcing this internet crap is going to lose you more business than you are going to reap from Amazon.

I have been watching football for over 50 years and I find this a total disgrace.

It's not like you can't afford good technology or people to operate it. I want a refund of my first game with your stupid new system. Game Pass was much better. You got the whole game and on my big screen.

What a ripoff. The game started with four minutes remaining in Q1 for the full replay and you think that's okay? How does that sit right with you [censored]s?

After being a client of Game pass, now I'm unable to watch football like I always do because I'm living in a US Territory? Clearly, ignorance from NFL part doesn't aware that Puerto Rican are US Citizens. Not to mention people like me that works for all our U.S. veterans. I highly recommend NFL to re-considerate this ignorant and clearly discriminating decision in not include us in your app, before is too late.

I can't watch football with my grandkids because the celebrations have become "R" rated. Why can't the NFL understand this is family entertainment and the players should be fined for actions that don't support a family entertainment viewing.

There are penalties for un-sportsman like conduct yet making "R" Rated gestures is OK on national TV for our kids & grandkids watch.

How do you expect kids to learn sportsmanship and have NFL role models if we can't let them watch NFL games because of the "R" Rated actions?

I am watching the Bill's vs the Rams. I just saw a Pfizer commercial at around 10:15pm eastern time mark on NBC. The NFL needs to stop cowering to pharmaceutical companies...NOW! I will not continue watching if you allow these companies to advertise. What they have done is egregious and what you have done to your players by promoting their vaccinations is also egregious. You should be ashamed. You do not need their money and you will lose mine if I see one more commercial from ANY drug company. Stop promoting them...NOW!

I am an American citizen resident in Ukraine and have registered numerous complaints about NFL GamePass Europe going back to the 2017 season, when Delatre acquired the streaming rights for Europe. Since then, my viewing experience has only degraded relative to what was previously offered directly from nfl.com.

But in 2022 Deltatre has even exceeded their previous failures. For reasons that make no sense whatsoever, they have decided to block all Ukrainian IP addresses from direct live-streaming this season, in the same way they have blocked Russia and Belarus, who are the aggressors in the current war. Ukraine is the party under attack, and is a U.S. and NATO ally. How on earth can such a blockage be justified?

Please prevail upon Deltratre to restore access to Ukraine prior to the opening of the regular season on September 9th. Otherwise I will continue to press this case until NFL management takes appropriate action.
