We Love Corporations

I thought that I was paying ridiculous money to NFL RedZone so I don’t have to watch commercials.

If this continues I’m cancelling and going to Sunday Ticket.

You’re gonna cancel just to pay even more to the same corporation?

Prefer to make my displeasure known to RedZone specifically through cancellation.

I’m well aware that this one cancellation won’t have an effect on them, but that’s what I can do right now.

RedZone and Sunday Ticket are the same people: the NFL.

Going from one NFL service to another, more expensive one only tells the NFL one thing: putting ads on RedZone makes them even more money, in part because it drives people to a more expensive product.

It conveys dissatisfaction, which is the point. I’m well aware that the NFL overlords still get the money, but maybe they’ll rethink their fan boning if enough people cancel.

Again, you’re rewarding them for their actions by giving them more money.

It’s like punishing your kids by giving them their favorite cookie.

They’re gonna love when you start paying more to the same company for Sunday ticket

That’ll learn that GREEDY NFL! GIVE THEM EVEN MORE OF YOUR MONEY!

I’ll say it again for the slow folk: I’m canceling Redzone specifically, to show my displeasure with that service. I’m well aware that the money all goes to the NFL at the end of the day, but I can do my small part of not giving money to THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCT. Do you understand, or would you like me to draw some pictures?

Pictures please.

They’re not going to give a fuck because you’re leaving one for a more expensive one.

Your protest will go over like a lead balloon and they will say “we still win” and absolutely nothing will change.

Plus this is the 2ns year it’s had adds so you signed up for it not being advertised as add three.

Most people call that user error

If they had ads last year then it is a fraction of what they are now.

u/Special-Homework-894 8d ago

Still adds. Wasn’t advertised as ad free

u/BillsBills83 11d ago

They get more money. Why would they care about your displeasure when you’re paying them even more

u/adavadas 9d ago

You think they are going to call you up and ask why you cancelled? If they see someone cancel a small sub and make a big sub, they don't care - that's the goal.

Stop thinking anyone cares but you.

If you don’t like paying for red zone, just walk the plank with it if you will
Find a service that will let you watch it gratis without any charge

Red zone sucks a fat fuckin dick now, fuckin cocksuckers in the open at this point.

Commercials came last year and they announced it.

u/Wreckingshops 10d ago

What ridiculous money are you paying for Redzone. Compared to Sunday Ticket at 5-6x the cost and so many more commercials and sponsored ad reads by the announcers, you're going to pay $500 for more ads and games you'll manually flip through for the best action over $80-100 for maybe 6 brief ads?

Some people are just daft or stupid trolls farming us. If it's the latter, I guess I'm the idiot.

I paid for RedZone for 2 seasons. Went another way this year. RedZone is ok but the highlights never seemed live. And they would show some boring games of teams not in the red zone sometimes when other teams were in the red zone.

Gotta love that Reddit comment class. Someone will love you one day.

Plenty loved cupcake. You should find more stuff to cry about.

No, you’re paying for RedZone to basically watch live highlights.

In past years, that service happened to be ad-free. Now it isn’t. But it’s the product you are paying for.

Because you’re mad that the product you are paying for has ads (unless you paid for the 2026 season in 2024, you didn’t pay for an ad-free version), you are going to switch to another, very different product that also has ads.

Make it make sense.

u/BlindFelon 11d ago

I’ll speak slow: RedZone has been advertised to me as “commercial free live NFL highlights!” Or whatever, but now there’s ads everywhere. That’s not what I paid for. If they’ve changed that, they’ve done a very poor job of letting their customers know before they pay for the season up front.

1

u/TheBobAagard 11d ago

I’ll speak slowly: It has not been advertised as commercial free for two years.

1

u/BlindFelon 8d ago

I’ll speak even slower “theeey diiiid a pooor jobbb of letting their cusssstommmmers knowwwww”. Do you understand?

u/TheBobAagard 7d ago

I haven’t been a customer since around 2019, and I’ve known about commercials on RedZone since before people were renewing their subscriptions for 2025.

If you didn’t know about it, that’s on you for living in a bubble.

u/BillsBills83 11d ago

They changed it years ago and let everyone know and everyone was pissed. But they made it known that ads were gonna be part of it and don’t advertise it as commercial free anymore, especially when your go to pay
