Another direct hit to MLB
Doesn't the NFL offer its popular out-of-market package, Sunday Ticket, only to DirecTV, thus doing exactly what baseball is proposing?
That exclusivity, for which DirecTV now pays the NFL $700 million per year, long has annoyed cable companies, but it hasn't caused much of a peep from consumers.
Why? Because Sunday Ticket always has been a DirecTV exclusive, so the NFL never snatched away a product people already had.
