The gatekeeping of sports is such a wild thing to me.

A couple years ago, I couldn't even watch a Braves game in Atlanta because of blackouts.

How does that make sense?

    I still have to use MLB.TV and a VPN to watch the Twins in their own market on anything but expensive cable. Bally Sports is the only place that carries them and they priced themselves off of every single streaming TV service. I don't need the VPN to watch anyone BUT the Twins. The MLB.TV and VPN is still cheaper than the cable subscription. And Bally wonders why they're going bankrupt.

    Yeah Bally is garbage. I'm in Columbus Ohio, so the MLB blacks out the reds, the guardians, and the pirates. It's insane.

    Iowa gets fucked so badly by the blackouts. They don't have a team in the state but have blackout restrictions for 6 teams (Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Royals, Twins, and Cardinals)
