I think they should just raise the sales tax again and give more money to the Glazers so we can watch every weekend. Thats whats really important to me as the real unemployment rate hovers over 14%, my heath care premiums have risen 40%, food costs are soaring and gasoline is 4 bucks a gallon.

Not sure where you live "JS" but the unemployment rate is 7.8 and continuing to drop. Gas is $3.55 a gal and dropping. Housing is up. Stock market up. Business in general is up and Corps are recording record profits. My health care has gone down 22% since Obamacare went into effect and we got a check from our insurance company paying us back. You might want to think about changing insurance company since now with Obamacare you can no longer be denied!

I don't think they should black out any of the Bucs games. Maybe if they quit the blackouts, people would watch and that would create interest in the team again. In turn, people would want to go see them play. They are a young exciting team and we should all support them.

Any team that is more than 500 should not be alowed to black out. They need to be winning at least half their games to black out a home game.

Heck yes, I'm glad the game is televised! I don't like going to the stadium. The best seat is on my couch!

But yes, the NFL rule for blackouts is fair, and it's probably not going to change again. I believe they already dropped the requirement from 100% to 85%, which was kind. They need to get people into the stadium. It's not going to be me, mind you, but I do understand it.

The black out rule is no different then when we were kids and one kid decided to say, "it's my ball if you won't play my way then nobody plays". I don't know about you but every kid I knew laughed and walked away. The greed that the NFL and Glazier family have displayed is not unlike the that bratty little child. The public does seem to be laughing and walking away. When the new stadium was built the Glaziers were under the impression that bigger was better, well they were wrong. A 35,000 seat arena would have been fine and would have on avg made them more money and always been full. Greed is a lesson most of us learn when we are children. Looks like the NFL and Glazier family are late bloomers but they will learn nonetheless.

If they want to cont. the black-outs, so be it. I have a lot more to spend my dollars on . than game tickets and overpriced parking without even getting into the horrific food prices. That goes to the Ray's too. These owners get a FREE place to reap their TV profits. I'll take a deal like that!

I was a fan of the Buccaneers since 1979 and even had season tickets in the early to mid eighties. When the greedy NFL owners instituted the black-out rule though, my interest and support for the team stopped. The citizens that pay sales and other taxes subsidize the stadium that these games are played in and for the owners, who profit from the yearly subsidies, to institute this rule is a slap in the face to every fan in this area. Not everyone can afford to attend games at the taxpayer subsidised stadium and to prevent these members of the community from watching the games on TV is inherently unfair. Shame on the greedy NFL owners! The citizens of Tampa Bay should boycott the Bucs until this practice is abandoned. I don't watch or attend their games anymore and hope they continue to lose just like they did for so many years as the Tampa Bay Yuks!
