New Deal Between NFL and TV Networks

Yipeeeeeeeeeeee!!! The NFL and Fox, CBS and NBC have finalized a deal for televising football through the 2022 season!! I'm so happy!!

But hang on a minute. The deal includes a 7% yearly increase. When was the last time you got a 7% increase? Oh.... and forget about promotions and job switches. When was the last time you got 7% for just doing the same job (albeit doing it well)?

And just where do the networks get the $3.1 billion (2022 cost)? Mostly from advertising I suspect. Where do the advertisers get their money? Well, ummmmm, who is there besides the people at the bottom of the food chain that buy the products.

Another source of revenue is the cable and satellite networks. Who pays for that? You got it. Next time your cable rates go up, don't be so fast to jump on Time Warner's case.

Here is just one more case where the people providing the money for this ridiculously expensive sport have nothing to say about how much it costs. Well, it's time we started showing that we've had enough. Join the Super Bowl boycott (http://www.bicephalic.com) now! Get the t-shirt at the Cafe Press Bicephalic Shop .
