    Insane. As if anyone has Xfinity for TV other than to watch the Blazers. Only good news is I think my parents already had the higher tier so I can keep streaming the road games - I dropped the TV package in the spring.

    But more people in eastern Idaho can watch a Blazer game if they want to! It's always been about getting more eyeballs! Except who cares about popular streaming options or Xfinity putting it on a package that people won't passively watch!

    Fans continue to get screwed in this deal. Can Mat Ishbia buy the Blazers too??? Please?

    Xfinity just said Root is now free on my program, and they are giving me a credit.

    We must have a bet with Denver to see who can have the least accessible broadcast.

    Lol root is literally the only reason why I have xfinity cable instead of YouTube, and now I need to upgrade my plan? Shit idk, I’d rather get league pass and use a vpn just because of that

    I just canceled my cable. Xfinity and Root can both suck it.

    It’s amazing how the team has basically been telling the fans to go fuck themselves for 20 years.

    I heard Comcast wants to charge everyone an extra 36 bucks per month to add ROOT Sports.

    what do folks get with for this extra ~40 bucks a month?

    Root sports offers:
    • Blurry 480p reception only
    • Blazers
    • Mariners
    • Kraken
    • Sumo wrestling from 2022
    • soccer players playing kick-only beach volleyball
    • unbelievably boring Poker tournaments
    • fat sweaty guys playing short-court tennis
    • bootleg kickboxing/MMA matches
    • replays of the blurry 480p games

    I'm glad the Blazers are still selling tickets, because people will not be shelling out extra cash to put this compressed blurry Root Sports garbage on their big screen HDTV sets.
