Satellite TV is Truly Football Heaven

No mater what game you call your favorite, the culture around sports has taken off over the last half century. Baseball has expended and now sells out stadiums ranging across the entire continental United States. Basketball arenas make as much money (if not more) off of concession sales and collectible items - big ones such as jerseys and signed photos, to the seemingly worthless keychain and kitchen magnet - as they do on actual ticket sales. Hockey, golf and tennis have all seen a surge in attendance as well as money being spent at various events that make these spots so special. Even soccer has gotten into the mix, as the sport has gone professional with a league of its own (Major League Soccer). In the end, whether or not your heart belongs on the ice, infield diamond, or hardwood floor, sports have become bigger than just the games themselves and are now a trillion dollar business when all rolled up into one.

Along with all the other forms of income, most every sport these days makes a large sum of money through television revenue. The more popular a particular game or match is, the more people tune in to view it, and the more money advertisers will pay for commercial spots the next time around. This cycle leads to more money for the sport, as well, as it can sell the rights to broadcast a game at a higher price as well. However, sometimes this profit-driven system takes away from the overall enjoyment of the sport. Football and the NFL, for instance, only broadcast a select few games each and every week. Aside from your local market games, chances are you are going to be privileged enough to watch one other game come Sunday, no matter how many others are actually being played. As a result, many fans are left out in the cold when it comes to being able to pick what games they want to watch week in and week out in the NFL.

However, some fans have taken corrective measures toward changing this system by moving from a cable connection to satellite TV. With a satellite TV connection, fans can subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket, a package that offers fans every single football game every single week, no questions asked. So even if you live in the town that your favorite team plays (and therefore could have watched the games on a standard cable connection in the first place) you can gain full access to everything the NFL has to offer each and every Sunday. If your team is battling for a division crown, watching the games of the other division rivals is almost as important as following your own team's game itself. Or, if you live in a different city or state as your favorite team plays in, you can use this package to ensure that you can watch your weekly games from home, and can avoid running around town desperately searching for a sports bar to suit your gridiron needs.
