NFL Blacking Out Games

Big news of the day is that NFL blacks out NFL games in local markets if the game does not sell out 72 hours in advance. Both Cincinnati and Arizona are in danger of having this happen to them. This rule of blacking out games if the games do not sell out is absolutely ridiculous. The NFL is basically saying that they don't care about any of the fans who want to watch their team on television but can't afford to go to see them play live. So they force their fans to have to buy tickets or else the fans won't get to see their hometown football team's game live. The fans will have to wait for the replay on live television.

The NFL needs to change this rule. In an economy like this it's unfair to try to blackmail fans into buying tickets by telling the fans that they need to sell out the game or else they won't get to see their favorite teams. This is a heartless ridiculous rule by the NFL and absolutely needs to be changed.
