Cardinals are going to lose thousands of loyal viewers

[TheJackBurton]

As happens a lot out here, many go to their local watering hole to watch with others. Most pubs will be showing it or have the ability to show it. No you don't have to drink, have a soda.
Sure beats sitting at home alone watching the games.

Commercial businesses, such as bars, have to pay a much heavier fee, so many very well may go "No thanks"

Buy the streaming service for only $99.

I think the OP is suggesting the Cardinals will lose thousands of loyal viewers, probably on the lower side of the income scale.

If those folks don’t have internet or smart phones……they are not really the demographic advertisers covet…

Also, are we really going to believe people who spent enough on cable to have Fox Sports Midwest in the past don't have the money to pay for the internet or a smart phone? Come on now.

maybe they have no desire whatsoever to pay for yet another streaming service.

Then get a lower tier of cable/streaming to pay for Cards streaming. I'm overall paying less now because I halved my monthly streaming bill because I don't watch much regular TV and only had the higher tier I had because it had Bally's and the Cards.

if it isn't on my Spectrum I'll just wait a few years until we are actually good again!

I suggest you keep crying about it. That will certainly help things.

This may shock some of you, but some people won't be able to justify putting a hundred bucks on a Cardinals package.

Laughable. Since when do you care about affordable anything for anyone?? I guess when it involves fossils who can't watch their baseball, wahh. What next? Will we force them to choose between their cat food rations and the cardinals teevee package? Give me a break. Let me break out my tiny violin and play 'Nearer, my gawd, to thee' for you while your ship founders, lol.

I would also suggest him getting over it after that, it beats the lingering envy and bitterness, amirite?

Then you live in a different place than I've ever lived in the US. Yes they pay more, but they make far more on food and drinks.
Example, say they pay $3000/month for cable. That will typically be made in a single Friday.
Again, bars and pubs I have been to since cable began have always had cable or satellite.
Perhaps folks in STL, don't frequent those places. If so, they are like the only sports town that it doesn't happen.
Such a pessimistic outlook.

There’s a lot of sports bars that just aren’t set up for streaming and will have a TV set to other cable channels. That is completely unacceptable.

Lmao. Where do you live? Any good sports bar owner is set up to get the games. Any bar that doesn’t have the game on is not a sports bar. Patronize a different business.

Every bar I know gets local sports teams. For them not to get the local sports teams, the Bar would soon be out of business. It is silly for someone to suggest that the local bar owner would not pay to have a bar full of people. It’s just nonsense what others are saying

EDIT: my curiosity got the best of me so I called the bar that I would typically go to on Monday night. Their seating capacity is less than 100 people. They pay $1100 for the SEASON of NFL football.
They will make that back in the first quarter of one game.

I’m paying $99 A YEAR for the Cardinals. Some people are paying $89-$129 a month for Spectrum so they can get the Cardinals for free.

What about those that don't have internet or even smart phones? Wouldn't they also need to pay extra for those just to get streaming?

What about those poor people that don’t own Formula One cars. They won’t be able to go Formula One racing. Maybe it’s in the best interest of a business not to have to cater to the poorest of the poor.

It’s funny, because I don’t have regular DIRECTV or spectrum. I’m not paying that money for channels I barely watch. So by Cardinals going to streaming I bought the Cardinals package. It’s worth $8.50 a month.

I would like to see that percentage of Cards fans. I’m guessing under 3%

What percentage of Cardinal fans do you think, Don’t have electricity to even power a television set? What about those poor people?
Not one person in Cardinal nation that doesn’t have electricity will be able to watch the games. This has to be a conspiracy against old people that don’t have electricity.
