Streaming Steeler Games Live?

It isn't when you made a living selling the real things for 5 years for a team and spent half your time trying to fight trademark infringement and bootlegging. it directly impacts a lot of costs for arenas and stadium pro shops. The NHL was bad enough can't imagine being an NFL retail director.
You could take away all the fake merchandise and everything else like the pirating streams and guess what?........the prices would still be the same. And then go up the following year.

Sure based on inflation but not as they do because o other pressures. During the All-Star game I worked for the White Sox they estimated they lost about a half million in counterfeit sales to illegal vendors around the stadium and that is with them spending thousands on security and confiscating thousands of t-shirts hats and other accouterment. Concerts are worse, The Fleet center as the new Boston Gardens was called then, actually lost money running the retail for the Madonna Concert I helped manage after they had to contractually provide the security for the acts retailers and it cost more than the ****** amount left after paying the vendors to do the selling. Although that is also reflective of the sad state of the union in Boston and the way they protected the thieves they employed to run the stands. Concert retail is a ****** business. I was helping in Detroit for a rap festival and had to watch two of the acts retail managers pull guns on each other fighting over the split which the contract stated they got in cash. That was a scary scene. I never let them send me up there again for that festival. Even though it was 17 years ago I still have some connections in the business and it still sucks to work concerts.

One problem is the sport league have their items priced so high it makes it am incentive to go to the cheap knock off brand. They themselves cost themselves $$$$$. I look at breat cancer month in the NFL. I know a bunch of people who would buy merchandise thinking most if not all of the money goes to fighting breast cancer. Nope. The NFL exploits for their own financial gain. Sorry. I will never lose sleep over someone buying a knock off hat or jersey. Or streaming a game for free. To go to a game it cost a small fortune now. Smh
 
the NFL sucks so hard at this

i wish there was an NFL app I could subscribe to. The dream is to subscribe to Steelers only, and just pay for those games.
This may be coming next year with Apple TV+.
 
That would be great.

Or even if Direct TV let you just buy only the Sunday Ticket and use their app

Yeah the pirating and knockoffs , those people arent who the NFL is after.. Or getting .
 
curious timing how the day before the steelers will only be available out of market on Amazon prime, a new poster comes on here pestering people for an illegal streaming link. Probably not a narc.
 
This is free, and there are payment options, but it's the Ravens market. When the ravens aren't playing the same time as the Steelers, they show the Steelers https://www.ustvnow.com/

Otherwise get a Pit area friend to share their YouTubeTV login and you'll see their "in market" games. It's a workaround.
