Great news for fans of shitty teams or teams with shitty fan bases. Bad news for greedy ass fucks.

I was just reading that it doesn't mean much. Apparently leagues can still implement blackouts at will, they just won't be forced by the FCC to do it.

I hate the NFL rules where they switch to another game, and it goes into OT and then they don't show you the OT.
