Our family is enjoying thanksgiving and are all here and agree that is extremely unreasonable of the nfl to charge consumers to enjoy a national sport, which historically was family entertainment and costs incorporated under basic network tv and/or cable.

Sitting around the fire after dinner and watching football with family was enjoyable growing up. Tonight could not watch the denver / kansas game after eating and are watching some other program. For years this has been part of our holiday and today we were told by our brighthouse representative that they would not subject their customers to such costs and would not promote some nfl package and thursday night extra deal. We all agree and are outraged at the nfl and the monetary benefits they want to gain from consumers on something that should be included at no charge.

Our cable bill today is $175 per month, which is $2100 a year. Now, do you think that it is unreasonable for a customer of any cable company to ask that these games be included at no charge. I am really disappointed in the nfl. The change in business strategy from decades ago up to this date. The nfl does not realize what they are taking away from our young adolescent viewers, parents, consumers, sports fans, etc... Including but not limited to the happiness that have taken away and what we as customers really perceive them as... A greedy giant that wants more money.

Please be the voice for us, we are too small and unless we pull together, they will continue to nickel and dime consumers... It is very sad, especially when I look into the living room and see all the guys in my family upset and the little boys come out in them as if they were just gut punched because they cannot watch a simple game on tv and a game that was once enjoyed and all had a passion for and historical salaries compared to the salaries today clearly show what football has become. Somebody better do something.

On 08/22/2022. I ordered NFL +. As senior, disabled woman, the NFL is my passion. I saved to order NFL + to watch as many games as possible. I now understand that I have to watch on DEVICES. So I just threw my $$ down the drain. You have many seniors can’t do that. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THE NFL WANT!

I just saw an article on the internet. That just in time for football season Amazon raised their price from $119.00 to $139.00. Another reason to give up on the NFL and find alternatives to watch,

Hi,

I have been a subscriber of NFL Game Pass for several years. Now I suscribed with my Ipad on 8/13/2022 for NFL+ Premium, but when I try to see the games it says that it is not available. I live in Puerto Rico.

Please let me know what options I have.

08/13/23 Steelers vs Seahawks. They only broadcast half of the game, then switched to Broncos vs Cowboys. Either your broadcasting a game or not. Period. I paid money to watch the Steelers. Had I known the game was not going to be broadcast in full, I wouldn't have wasted my money!

I hope the NFL realizes that if they allow this predator to play after only 6 game suspension many of us will stop watching your games. 30 women were violated and he just goes back to playing as usual...it speaks volumes about the NFL and how they feel about women being assaulted by their players. Shame on Cleveland and shame on you.

I am surprised that Deshaun Watson was given a six game suspension as he was never convicted of a crime. The crime is suspending Deandre Hopkins six games for substance abuse? not even an illegal drug or significant amount. What gives?

I think the NFL’s suspension of DeSean Watson is not nearly harsh enough. He molested dozens of women and gets a slap on the hand. This is bad for the NFL and society- this is not setting a good example. It continues enabling of violent and/or sexual predator NFL players by simply giving them light treatment. Shame, shame on the NFL.

The NFL is supposed to unite all people, especially families. Allowing that disgusting show attempts to teach young girls they can get attention by gyrating in the nude. What a disgrace to women, the NFL, and this country. A formal apology is necessary and expected- from the NFL, the nearly nude insecure strippers, and the FCC

The halftime show was not appropriate for viewers of the Superbowl. It was pornographic and disgusting. Families do not need to see this. There was no warning. I was sick to my stomach and very unhappy about the NFL allowing this type of show. So disappointed.

Horrible Half Time Show !
What message are we sending to our young viewers on how to view women.
This is further evidence that money and the crumbling of our core values are what the NFL truly values. Shame on the NFL...

Your decision to play the halftime pornography show is reprehensible. I've asked many people (women mostly) who all agreed that the show was in awful taste, felt like porn (for those of us who don't really have experience with that) and in general, completely shown in very bad, diabolical taste. Shame on you! If there's a suit, I want to join in.

What was this? A peek into a Tijuana strip club? Your company is as unAmerican as you can get. You lose fans every single day. Think I'm lying? Check complaints on social media, check the comments and check your ratings. My friends family and neighbors are done. Your done.

Shame on you NFL! You claim you are against human sex trafficing yet you include little girls on stage in inappropriate attire/dance alongside women who are putting on a show that is lewd and objectifying. Come on America, we can do better than this! This is horrible.

I had 30 teenager in my house to watch the super bowl, when the half time show started I was deeply disturbed by it. I had to turn it off. I was embarrassed by what was shown. Can you please warn us and give a rating for future super bowl half time and/or maybe make it more family friendly.

Very disappointed! I believe you orw an apology to the families that brought there children to a game that was rated R.

Completely inappropriate. It was closer to a strip show. Definitely not family friendly or even close to appropriate for children. Was this even thought through as to whether children should be watching it? Was an alternative even thought?

What has the NFL become to allow such smut at a football game for a family. I watched one game this year and now I know why I don't watch crotch ball. If I wanted to watch a crotch with my kids I would go to a strip club. What a horrible example of family entertainment.

Please change the name and practices of the Chiefs team. It is racist and cultural appropriation. The team is harming the indigenous people of the land YOU and I live on. We need to do better.

How in the world do we come off the #metoo era and then, on one of the largest stages in the year, tell our daughters it's alright to be sluts-on-stage?

The officiating was so bad that I am considering watching nfl games to be waste of time. I don't really care about either team but the officiating ruined the game. Really bad.

Nobody wants to see 30 penalties a game, and every nice hit be an excessive hit. Your league is going to be overtaken by the NBA in less than 5 years and deservedly so. What your putting forth is an absolute disgrace

The Saints have now been at the mercy of 4 horribly botched calls or lack of call in games.
I plan on suing the nfl officials.
When is it going to be enough?
I am on the verge of never watching football again.
Your officials are all crooked and they SUCK!

Showing final score of game you are watching in the banner on bottom of screen.
When watching games being aired a second time, the banner with information about various NFL teams shows the score of the game you are currently watching. This seems like a simple fix for the IT department to block that information from the game being aired.

The officiating of a playoff game was horrific. The refs lost the game with a very important missed call! The refs need to do their jobs! This is upsetting for a team who deserves to be at the Superbowl only to lose because of a missed call.

Easy for L.A. Rams to run for nearly 300 yards vs Cowboys when referees do NOT call holding. Pics are TD plays...hard to remain a paying fan of this Goodell era!

Sept 30 Browns vs Raider
How can you say a player was in the grasp and blow the play dead when he fumbles the ball on first contact . Games are being fixed and all fans should boycott the NFL until they stopped letting the teams they want to win

Do I have to provide any evidence! You wanted the "White Coach" to get his first WIN! After 400 years, You still need to cheat the disenfranchised. You still can't lead without cheating. After Slavery, Jim Crow, Welfare, marrying Black Women, etc.

Danny Trevathan of the Chicago Bears should be barred from the NFL permanently for the vicious hit helmet speared to the head of a receiver who was already going down to he ground and immediately collapsed to the ground.
Danny should be treated with the most severity banned from the NFL
