Looks like some of you will be needing a new site to stream games

They could easily make money off me if they offered a way to buy single games. I would gladly pay a reasonable price to watch a reliable stream of my favorite team's game - but they won't offer that for whatever reason.

This is the windmill I tilt at. I just want to go to the NFL web site and click "buy Chiefs games" for $20 per game or $100 for the season. I would gladly pay that and the money would go directly to put bread on the tables of the hungry NFL owners.

I've tried buying various packages when I've traveled, and every time I do, I get shut out because the package "only works in the USA" or "only works for games shown in your local market". I suspect that the NFL has some huge Gordian Knot of conflicting and overlapping contract agreements dating back to the Great Depression that is impossible to navigate and provide the customer with a straightforward and convenient product. They really need to fix that.

And by the way, why would I ever buy a package that "only works for games shown in your local market"? If it's shown in my local market, I'll just watch it on TV.
