As a bucs fan, I know all to well about blackouts. I really do hope the black out is lifted. The economy is still down yet NFL still is a billion dollar company! …they can afford to show games from time to time.
Please eliminate the blackout rule for the Tampa Bay Buc’s home games. We the taxpayers paid for Raymond James Stadium and therefore we have a right to see all home games on local television. Not everyone is physically able to attend games due to health, hospitalized, economy and many reasons.
