This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Our family is enjoying thanksgiving and are all here and agree that is extremely unreasonable of the nfl to charge consumers to enjoy a national sport, which historically was family entertainment and costs incorporated under basic network tv and/or cable.

Sitting around the fire after dinner and watching football with family was enjoyable growing up. Tonight could not watch the denver / kansas game after eating and are watching some other program. For years this has been part of our holiday and today we were told by our brighthouse representative that they would not subject their customers to such costs and would not promote some nfl package and thursday night extra deal. We all agree and are outraged at the nfl and the monetary benefits they want to gain from consumers on something that should be included at no charge.

Our cable bill today is $175 per month, which is $2100 a year. Now, do you think that it is unreasonable for a customer of any cable company to ask that these games be included at no charge. I am really disappointed in the nfl. The change in business strategy from decades ago up to this date. The nfl does not realize what they are taking away from our young adolescent viewers, parents, consumers, sports fans, etc... Including but not limited to the happiness that have taken away and what we as customers really perceive them as... A greedy giant that wants more money.

Please be the voice for us, we are too small and unless we pull together, they will continue to nickel and dime consumers... It is very sad, especially when I look into the living room and see all the guys in my family upset and the little boys come out in them as if they were just gut punched because they cannot watch a simple game on tv and a game that was once enjoyed and all had a passion for and historical salaries compared to the salaries today clearly show what football has become. Somebody better do something.

18Dec2022 Why are the Houston Texans not being thrown out of the Game vs the Chiefs? They have already done about six 'lowering the head and leading with the Helmet Tackles' ! Severe Injuries could result !

Can Amazon please remove the pictures of the announcers from the bottom of the screen? It's so annoying! The picture are partial converting the score, and you cannot see the time clock. What is the purpose of this? All the other weeks the pictures were not present. The point is to hear the announcers, not see them constantly.

NFL writers say nothing about how officials maybe placing bets on games and then assisting in the outcomes. Just look at the Giants vs Commanders game.

Obviously, the officials wanted the Giants to take home the win...

Why in the world would you not air the Chiefs game today? It's so upsetting that i can't watch my team...why does this happen every year it's getting very old NFL! Quit having only certain places to watch the NFL games. Make ever game available.

Towards the end of the Chiefs/Seahawks game they switched over to the Giants/Vikings game. This is idiotic. The guide on the tv says the Chiefs and Seahawks and it SHOULD STAY THAT WAY. We don’t care anything about this game, it makes no sense to do this. Missing the rest of that game really ruined it all.

You statement regarding Damar Hamlin speaks volumes of how woke the corporation has become. "Our thoughts are with...", not our thoughts and prayers. Thoughts will do absolutely nothing for Damar, prayers will.

Wow did Green Bay get a present. The NFL had time to think about this. Just another screw up on them and fans being disgruntled. Scheduling Seattle game prior to Green bay. Article even states "it's about the money for advetisers" not what's fair. Good job NFL you MESSED UP AGAIN! You are totally PATHETIC and lost another fan.

I think the choice of Riahanna for the half time show was totally inappropriate for the viewing audience. The show was lewd, suggestive, sexual and not for family viewing. I am lodging my complaint!

I am an ardent fan of football. The half time show this super bowl was absolutely the worst of all the super bowls since I was a child. The black national anthem was a disgrace to the flag .Her dress was pathetic. It was so disgusting and revolting I changed channels. Big mistake NFL. Gary Bakken Minnesota.

I think it was disgraceful that the NFL would have the "black national anthem" song at the super bowl. There is only one national anthem. If you want to be woke, then have a Mexican, Irish, German, Chinese, Japanese and Russian (among other ethnic groups) national anthem all at the same time! NFL is made up of probably 80% blacks! Oppression?

Explain the non PI call in the KC vs Vikings game towards the end. Also lets see you wiggle your way out of the KC removing his helmet , not penalized and even being told to put his helmet back on but not flagged. Your pathetic

Illegitimate and irresponsible calls against the Green Bay Packers. These officials and your “corporation” should be under litigation.

The NFL Ref’s need to do a better job. When you have a non-malicious tackle of the QB with the ball and the ref’s call a personal foul it makes it hard to watch the rest of the game.

How about calling a fair game Eagles vs Dallas. Holds not called on eagles. Hands to the face not called. Yet the cowboys are getting called for everything. How can it take two minutes after a play to say defense lined up in neutral zone.

I’m done watching NFL football on Fox network. Today I was watching the 49er game when they switched programs with 10 minutes left in the 4th. This has happened multiple times in the past. When I commit my time to watch a game, I expect to get the whole game. I suggest you dump Fox in favor of a network that will carry the entire game.

I am extremely disappointed that the NFL has decided to continue to support Elon Musk. It’s easy to say you condemn hate speech but another thing to put your money where your mouth is. The NFL is weak. All it cares about is money. And yes I have been a big supporter of the NFL. Extremely disappointed

Why are you selling game viewing to outside programmers i.e. Amazon?

NOT everyone has the funds or equipment to get PRIME.

NOT everyone has access to high speed internet.

I pay ENOUGH monthly to my Dish serice!

How come FOX network broadcast are always poor picture quality? Compared to games on CBS, Amazon, ABC, etc., FOX is clearly an inferior broadcast. I have four OLED TVs and the picture quality is undeniably evident. If they are not able or not willing to broadcast in 4k or even 1080p they should have there broadcast rights removed.

I think it is pretty sorry that you have a playoff game on Peacock. It was bad enough that you had games on Prime during the season. Not everyone has this cab afford a streaming service, but I guess you don't care about the fans.
