    The Blazers really cant get out of the way of terrible TV deals. Really sucks for fans of both teams.

    Jesus... Why not just sell the rights to youtube for the same price? Then you don't have to worry about any of this garbage...

    All this bullshit about selling rights for individual teams is archaic and it needs to end. All the teams should be on one league pass and all the teams should get a share of the profit.

    Tape, delay, wow we are traveling back in time.

    I'm waiting for the phone number to dial in and order BlazersCable pay per view.

    I only have a rotary phone, maybe someday I will get a fancy new touch tone one. If I want to really splurge I will get an 800Mhz wireless one.

    This most definitely deserves its own thread.

    This is bullshit. They knew about this long ago and still this is the solution. Just bonkers how dumb they are at very common sense things.

    I mean what’s the problem here? Nobody outside southwest Washington really cares about the Blazers. They’re still watching old Sonic games to give a shit. Oregon isn’t affected by this. We’ll get to watch our team live.

    My question is at this point why did ROOT even want the Blazers if they are not a priority?

    Because having the Blazers enhances their leverage. They can make more content artificially scarce, hence they can make more money.

    "They" being a few people at the top. Obviously having maximum visibility and growing the fan base would be better for the team as a whole.

    I’m in Southeastern Washington. I think you may be underestimating it.

    Oh ok. But you get my point. I don’t see the big deal here. Washington doesn’t care about our sports.

    If that means down to down southern Washington, I'm even more glad I didn't sign up.
    Back to the old school days of listening to radio.

    Anyone with Xfinity in Vancouver care to share if both Root Sports and Root PLUS is available?

    Article says on game day conflicts with Kraken, Blazer games will be available live on Root PLUS.

    On all other games, they will be on Root Sports.

    I also wonder how many game conflicts there are all season. It would be nice to have a list, or at least know how many games.

    How ridiculously embarrassing. This team just can’t seem to get out of their own way.

    This doesn’t affect me because I have league pass, but truly embarrassing
