NFL policy blacks out games for any city within a 90 mile radius of an NFL stadium.
with that in mind, myself, and others here in Canada, have been excluded from watching 4 buffalo games this year.
but you know, i'm not convinced that this is the best way to market their product.
the result of these blackouts is that better games have been televised! instead of watching the Buffalo Jills founder, we have seen priemiere matches in the 1PM EST time slot.
if their goal is to convince canadians that they should get a passport and drive across the border to western new york to watch NFL in person, and to support our so-called "home team", the bills well, this black out is not working..
i'm quite happy to sit at home here in canada and watch such games like NYJ v MIN, and hopefully NE vs JAX, this week, on tv..
anybody else have thoughts on blacking out games. does this really represent what's best for the league's marketing strategy?
