    Literally just paid my bill for Xfinity. Internet + Cable with the sports package with Peacock and Paramount+ $167.43
    I get every Blazer game. I did not buy league pass this year which i could get for $80 bucks because i cancelled from last year. I just don't see what people are bitching about?

    Does league pass still block out* blazer games if you pay for all teams?

    You are paying $167!!! That’s what they’re bitching about. How does one get just the Blazers games IN PORTLAND (where league pass is blocked out) for $15?? It doesn’t exist. You’re paying over $100 which is about the minimum you have to pay to get Blazers games legally.

    No not in any way are you correct. I’m paying just under $100 for my cable and internet that my kids and Wife use constantly. I’m paying 15 bucks so I can watch the Blazers and Mariners and pretty much every other major sports events that come along. I also watch the streaming through peacock and paramount. On top of that I have HBO. So try to keep up here. $167 covers way more than just Blazers. The part that brings me EVERY game they play is $15 bucks.

    More so not only do I get every game. If I happen to not be able to watch a game I can record it and watch it any time I wish.

    It is possible to physically be in Portland, but watch from 'Mexico' where it is not blacked out.

    Well sure if your already paying 1-2 thousand a year its not a lot extra for Blazers. But many people don't buy all that other stuff you do so it's very expensive for them to add the Blazers.

    It's also possible to go to the grocery store and only scan a $1 item twice instead of the $50+1 items you take.

    Both examples are fraud/theft.

    Sure, but could you just pay the $15 and get only the Blazers/Sports or do you have to pay for that $100 package to get the $15 added on?
