i cannot believe they fucking pulled that shit two days before their first broadcasted game.

Bill going up $22.34 going to the ultimate tier. This is crap.

This is the exact reason I switched to streaming. Comcast is such a terrible company. I’m fortunate to live in the Midwest so I can purchase nba league pass and see all blazer games. Sorry to everyone back in Oregon that gets screwed in this

Use the savings to buy a pirate hat and a bottle of rum. Yarghhhh!

Jesus Christ lol. Dewayne has to be kicking himself for agreeing to that deal by now. Hard to know what the market looked like and I’m sure the options were bad regardless but the publicity from the Root deal has been shit since the moment it was signed.
Hopefully his pointed comments during media day were an indication that they’re actually going to move away from RSNs once this deal is up or better yet, Root goes bankrupt.
Weird to say I legit miss NBCSNW.

The way they phrase this email like they are doing you a favor lmao. They remove the channel and lower your fee and then want you to pay more to get it. Absolute scum and I highly advise getting your pirate ship rather than pay for their scummy practices

Root not having a streaming option for non-cable subscribers – in addition to it being a Seattle station that prioritizes Seattle teams – makes the Blazers decision to sign with them an ongoing disaster.
blackmarksonpaper
The team has fucked up the TV deal so bad it’s actually funny.
jshizz8
Fuck root sports
the_truth15
Wouldn’t be surprised if the.reason for this was from root and not Comcast.
Also root only outputs 720p. Like wtf kind of company is this.
1850ChoochGator
I’m trying to remember why I was paying for the highest tier tv package anyway if ROOT was available on a lower one.
Must have been for pac 12 network

My brothers in Christ, time to ditch cable TV.
I finnally got my father to ditch his $263 package, and he dropped to just internet($113) with a smart TV+apps+Chromecast/Google TV.
How much is your money and life worth?
Less screen time, more green time.

Fuck root sports. Why did the Blazers even make this deal? They don’t even like Blazers. They’d rather play baseball or hockey first. Look at their Twitter. They don’t even post about Blazers. Just a repost of when ayton trade went down. Illegal streaming it is

We need to start bombarding the team with notices like this that they’re fucking up big time being on Root

I’ve been conveniently streaming sports for a decade and I feel zero guilt about it.

Other than pirating, is Fubo the best option now for pac 12 network and root sports?

Wooo savings!!!! Hey wait a minute…
lunes_azul
Hopefully these pricks go bankrupt soon. Is it 3 more seasons of this otherwise?
The Phoenix Suns let you stream all of their games for $14.99 a month. I’d buy that in a fucking heartbeat of we had an equivalent.

i’ll always say this but being able to watch your local team home games with an antenna seems like, a human right or something.
ohmygodbeats7
I’m so glad I got rid of Comcast a few years ago. Don’t miss their bullshit at all.
Ziply fiber internet and online streams for me. Escape from these assholes!

It still reflects the middle teir and 3rd tier on website. Do you live in Portland? I noticed you have to input that for channels available. Very curious as I have a Comcast tech coming Tom due to steaming app not working. If they pulled this I’m pulling the plug out of principle and just going to dreadful fubo.
TKRUEG
Guys, I’m starting to think Comcast is greedy and exploitative.
Your neighbors across the street may be paying a completely different rate than you for the same package/tier, vs the old couple two houses down, etc etc. It’s all about negotiating skills, patience and persistence for what amounts to a utility, which is kind of fucked since those who can least afford it get rolled. They also act like a monopoly in areas without competition, and charge way more than a location only a few miles away with fiber service. And, they’re one of the biggest reasons a la carte cable isn’t a thing. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 😅

YouTube TV doesn’t have root sports at all.
Somehow they have created a system where the local team I actually care about is the hardest team for me to watch. Its insanity.

This is a GREAT way to temper my enthusiasm for the new Blazers. I hate Chris McGowan. But it seems like Dewayne Hankin is just as bad.

My question is why did root even want the blazers? They’re a Seattle company who don’t even prioritize the blazers.

Hey blazers organization. Stream your own games please. You get all the ad money directly!!!! What is the problem?!?

Can NBA just do what MLS did already? For a paltry sum, I’ve literally NEVER had to worry about how to watch a game. From any device.

More evidence that ownership is only money driven. Roots sports plus has been trash and an absolute downgrade from CSN the past few years & now this. Don’t tell me its not ownership when franchises like the Suns are showing what can be done when you care.
We’re canceling our cable and getting league pass to watch the Bucks

Nothing new. Pay extra to watch 50% commercials and 50% of a game. How is cable tv still a thing.
