AT&T's DirecTV Is Giving Refunds on NFL Packages Due to Protests

By Scott Moritz

September 26, 2017, 3:38 PM CDT

Subscribers to AT&T Inc.’s DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket who want to cancel the service because of football players’ national anthem protests can get refunds, according to customer service representatives.

The protests, which started with some players kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality, has expanded to teams and even owners linking arms in a show of unity. The issue has been magnified by tweets from President Donald Trump, who called the protests “disgraceful” and encouraged fans to boycott the NFL.

AT&T is the exclusive home of the Sunday Ticket, which offers the full slate of Sunday afternoon NFL games. The telecommunications company declined to comment.

The TV football package costs almost $300 a season, though AT&T offers various promotions and monthly pricing options.

DirecTV normally has a no-cancellation policy for Sunday Ticket. The Wall Street Journal reported the refunds earlier Tuesday.

The NFL should just require all players and coaches to kneel for the anthem as a show of show of respect for the country such as it is a show of respect for God.

Then everyone would be standing.

Mission accomplished.

I saw some wag on Twitter say the same yesterday, laughing about how Trump is now the puppeteer of the NFL.

It's kinda true.

To me it's all like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I remember in the 70's when players were paid maybe 30,000 dollars per year, and owning an NFL team was just a tax write off or a private indulgence. Very few teams were profitable.

Now despite players making 2 million dollars a year, the NFL has become a license to print money. That is. at least until lately.

Not for the players. They get paid no matter what. I don't understand the owners letting them get away with it. They're going to look like fools when they eventually reverse course.

Top players are making tens of millions a year. Tom Brady's new contract was $41 million over two years, with a massive $28 million signing bonus. That's $34.5M for 2017 and another $20.5M for 2018. Of course, his wife the retired model is even richer.
