Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… this… “boycott NFL playoff game on Peacock” thing. Don’t rightly know what all them fancy words mean, but I heard enough on the TV to get the gist of it.
So, they wanna put the football game on this… Peacock thing? What in tarnation is a Peacock anyway? Sounds like some kinda fancy bird, not a place to watch football. Back in my day, you watched the game on the TV, simple as that. Now they got all these… these… streams and clouds and whatnots. Confusin’ as all get-out, I tell ya.
And now they sayin’ we gotta pay extra to watch the game? Lord have mercy! Don’t they know folks is already payin’ a pretty penny for cable? And now they want more money for this Peacock bird show? It ain’t right, I say. It ain’t right at all.
- First, they took away the free games.
- Then, they put ‘em on all them fancy channels.
- Now, they want even MORE money for this Peacock contraption.
It’s like they’re tryin’ to squeeze every last penny outta us, like we’re some kinda lemon. Well, I ain’t no lemon! I’m a human bein’, and I deserve to watch my football without gettin’ robbed blind.
I heard some folks talkin’ about a “boycott.” Sounds like a fancy word for not watchin’ the game. And you know what? Maybe that’s what we gotta do. Maybe if enough of us refuse to pay for this Peacock thing, they’ll get the message. They’ll see that we ain’t gonna stand for this nonsense.
They say this Peacock thing had a bunch of people watchin’ last year, some kinda record or somethin’. Well, good for them, I guess. But that don’t make it right. Just ‘cause a lot of folks fell for it last time don’t mean we gotta fall for it again.
They talk about all this money they makin’ from these games. Millions and millions of dollars, they say. And where’s that money goin’? Not into my pocket, that’s for sure. It’s all goin’ to them fancy fellas in their big city offices, while we’re here scrimpin’ and savin’ just to make ends meet.
They say it’s all about “growth” and “success.” Well, what about our growth and success? What about the folks who just wanna watch a football game without havin’ to jump through hoops and pay a fortune? Don’t we matter too?
I tell ya, it’s just plain greedy. They already got enough money, but they always want more. It’s like they ain’t satisfied unless they’ve squeezed every last drop outta us. And now they’re tryin’ to do it with this Peacock thing.
And another thing! They sayin’ some of the regular games are already on these other streamy things. What’s that all about? Can’t a fella just turn on the TV and watch the game no more? It’s gettin’ too complicated, too expensive, and just plain ridiculous.
This whole situation just makes my blood boil. It used to be so simple. Football was football. You turned on the TV, and there it was. Now you gotta have a subscription for this, a subscription for that, and who knows what else. It’s enough to make a body wanna just give up on football altogether.
But then again, I do love my football. So, maybe this boycott thing ain’t such a bad idea. Maybe if enough of us stick together, we can make a difference. We can show them that we ain’t gonna be pushed around. We ain’t gonna pay through the nose just to watch a football game. We can watch the NFL playoffs on CBS or NBC or whatever the regular channel is, like always. Why they gotta go messin’ with a good thing?
So, I say, boycott the NFL playoff game on Peacock. Let ‘em know we ain’t happy. Let ’em know we ain’t gonna stand for this greed. Let ’em know we want our football back, the way it used to be. Simple, affordable, and accessible to everyone. That ain’t too much to ask, is it?
Maybe if they see enough folks ain’t watchin’ their fancy Peacock game, they’ll go back to puttin’ the games where they belong – on regular TV, where everyone can watch ’em without havin’ to sell the farm.
