NFL moves more games from free TV to cable. Can poor people still be sports fans?

    A non-issue

    The games that are on NFL network are still broadcast in the local market for free. Thus, if you live in San Antonio and you're a Cowboys fan, there's a chance you wouldn't get the 'boys game on Sunday if it's not the game of the week. This is no different. If you are a hardcore NFL fan that does not have cable, go down to the local watering hole and watch the game. All this move does is make 8 more games available to a national-ish audience, thus increasing the exposure of the NFL.
