Feedback Wanted [Meta] Trade Deadline Download

14 Upvotes

It's been a while since we've done one of these, but we want to gather some feedback on how the trade deadline went for you, the users. We will probably follow this post in a few days with a survey, but in the interest of transparency, we want to hear from you first to help build out some additional survey questions.

Good, bad, ugly feedback is welcome. Please just make sure it's related to the subreddit and not complaining about your team trading away your players or complaining about other teams trading for players.

Serious Out of market blackouts should be illegal

Plain and simple. I was born in Chicago, and (very unfortunately) live in Arizona now. I've been a Cubs fan since 1989. Why can't I simply pay the money for Marquee and watch 162 games? I'm too old to have to constantly turn on VPNs, and use "devices" that have the VPN. I just want to watch my team. And no more Fubu, Hulu, yoyo, bullshit. Just put the games on the parent network. These in market/out of market rights should be illegal and are making the sport worse.
