But the NFL knows that antennas are pretty much extinct, so the situation only applies to your uncle.

Most people...

are extremely annoyed that they have to have cable, DirecTV, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock to watch all of their team's games.

And we got to this whole crazy over-streaming situation because the NFL got kind of greedy.

Knowing how popular their sport is, the NFL has sliced and diced their rights into five different TV packages.

And get this, Yetis, if you want to watch every single NFL game last season, guess what the FCC says you had to pay?

They say you have to have 10 different services costing $1,500.

So, the Republican Senator Mike Lee argues that these deals the NFL has done with TV networks, they break the 1961 law as they're not free to watch.

Because they're paywalled.

So for fans, it feels like you have to pay a $125 a month NFL tax.

Yeah, yeah, it's basically a football fee you gotta pay.

Why should the NFL get an antitrust exemption when they're fleecing networks with costs that we consumers end up paying?

It's a great question, Jack, which leads...

To our second flag on the play, Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at the NFL?

Americans pay more to watch the NFL than we pay for movies, and nearly as much as we pay for music.

In the fragmented world of social media and YouTube and streaming,

The NFL is the only thing most American families still experience together.

So yetis, that's how the NFL gets $10 billion a year across its five TV deals.

That is more than the U.S.

box office.
