    Direct TV Refunds NFL Package

    If you have the NFL SUNDAY TICKET you are eligible for a full refund now if you cite the anthem protest as reason for cancelling.

    WSJ- just broke today

    Wow! If you think about it... DirecTV has no other choice. If they wouldn't allow customers to cancel.... they'd eventually lose customers overall... and just cancel service all together.

    Sort of smart on DirecTV's part.

    Trump's comments has caused a lot of businesses to lose revenue.

    But if you cancel, then you don't get the games anymore. I don't see the point...

    It's for the True American who believes NFL's players should stand.... and for individuals who don't gamble.

    Otherwise... you need to keep it.

    That should be DirecTV's slogan. "For the gambler in you."

    I sat in my local Cigar Bar Sunday night.

    A crowd of upper middle class, blue collar, married, family oriented men. Many vets....I have never seen more people United in their disgust at what they saw on TV. It was a surreal experience.

    Guys were turning their team logoed apparel inside out. One put his Cigar out right on his Steelers hat.

    I keep asking myself one question.

    Why should I care if these yahoos stand or not?

    They don’t represent me. They have only 1 job that affects my livelihood. Cover the penetrating spread.

    If kneeling or not kneeling affected that outcome, then I’d care.

    Until then, let them all wear clown masks on the sidelines and dance around singing “I Feel Pretty”.

    I dont give a Kardashians vagina.

    Most likely went to the store and already purchased a new Steelers hat.

    c'mon bro

    you had me going,if you stopped at logo turned inside out....great story.

    But

    Guy putting out his cigar with his steelers hat is a bit over the top don't you think.

    upper middle class guy doesn't do wild stuff like that.

    c'mon man.

    Why does anyone need that anyway? I'll just continue letting RedZone handle the channel flipping for me for without paying anything extra for it.

    Everyone should cancel their nfl ticket asap!! It was necessary like five years ago but today, just google reddit nfl streams on gamedays and you'll have your choice of 720p free high quality streams. You need a good internet connection though.

    Is it just me, or did it seem like the teams that had the most people protesting last week all lost?

    That's what I was thinking. Maybe someone who is good with numbers and doing research can come up with a conclusion.

    exactly correct, the perfect strategy for a president of the USA. say shit that harms capitalism. I made this argument a few days ago. He has no business blackmailing or bad mouthing free enterprise. If you're a capitalist you must agree.

    wait, aren't you a Christian. don't you think that is a little bit of cheating. Directv is not responsible for what football players do. They would win this in court if they fought it but they are simply interested in good will.

    ask yourself what would Jesus do Jibby. I don't think Jesus would ask for a refund, and you are supposed to emulate him, right?
