DAZN subscription

[Sir Blue and Gold]

You always use the infallibility argument. 'They' must know what they are doing, so anyone who doesn't agree is wrong. Then the ad hominem attack.


I go to 1 game a year. I won't buy a second service to watch 20% of the games. I'll get used to missing those games, which isn't the same as "I won't miss it at all." None of that has anything to do with the validity of my argument.

 Folks who make the decisions love to tell us how great they are going to be, but almost never show the actual numbers after the fact. Makes the look more infallible than they really are, so I doubt we ever get the actual data on how many net new DAZN subscriptions sell, unless they have a CFL-only package and the numbers are good for their side.

I just think they know what they're doing more than you.

I don't think anyone who is truly honest would come to any other conclusion.

If business people were actually infallible, no businesses would ever fail. As that's obviously not true, the only viable conclusion is that business people are not infallible. 

Having more information than me doesn't make them right or guarantee that they make the right decisions. Businesses are "making max profit now and ignoring future enterprises." Always have been. Always will be.  

Do you think this group of owners cares if the CFL folds in 5 years as long as they can maximize their profit for those 5 years? Do you think that could affect their decision-making?

That's the thing, they don't really care about the product creating the wealth or the interests of those who provide the wealth, their focus is 100% on how much wealth can be generated.  Movies, music, entertainment in general, all suck now because accountants ceased control and they sucked the living soul out of the beast. 50 years ago we had Elvis and the Beatles, now we have bubbles.

Ya, this poll is a real eye-opener.  In one day we have the bulk of regular members voting and the result is 25% will pay?

I don't know about you, but that's waaaaay less than I would have guessed.  My guess would have been 50/50 of uberfans.

If only 25% of uberfans will pay, kiss the casual fan goodbye.  You're right, at best probably 5% of those will pay.

Ouch!  I'm gonna head over to Riderfans to see what they are saying... strangely enough whether blue or green us uberfans tend to be on the same page when it comes to Dumb CFL Moves.

Do you really think this a Dumb CFL Move?

Watched CFL for over 45 years.  I'd pay $50 a month to keep the 55 yard line and all the games on cable. other than that, no.  I don't subscribe to streaming services, Shaw gets enough $ out of me for cable and internet.  Nope not happening to watch a Edmonton Ottawa yawner or anything Chad Kelly is in.
