I was looking for a reason to not watch, and it being on Fox is good enough for me.
And don't waste your fingertips by typing Fox Sports isn't affiliated with Fox Noise. The money still goes into Murdoch's bank account, and that's all I need to know.
It's football, basketball and/or hockey season anyway. Baseball shouldn't be played in November.

(57,621 posts)Oh, you are. Well, whatever. If you don't want to watch, you don't want to watch. That's fine.
Really, they have the whole thing? You can't watch on any over-the-air station and thus not contribute to {it}?
I don't know. I'm not watching.
Well, enjoy whatever is on the other channels.

(19,204 posts)I'm a Bills fan, and if I'm not at the game in person I'll listen on WGR radio.
I actually love watching the game on radio. 😉 It's great to use your imagination again, like when I was a kid and listened to all sports on a crystal radio I made myself. It kinda' rolls back the years, 'ya know?

(19,204 posts)I'm a dyed-in-the-wool sports fan, and sometimes I wish I would have taken up a different hobby as a kid.
I'm truly addicted. If there aren't any sports worth watching I go into withdrawal. 😳

(7,669 posts)I hate FOX (which is a lot). I despise Murdoch and everything he stands for but in reality Media is dominated these days by 6 corporation (down from over 50 in the 80's) and there is very little we can do about it. I think corporatism is responsible for much of denigration of our Democracy.
The only network I ever watch is PBS unless it is to watch sports or local news/weather.
Go Astros!!
