First Timbers, and now this? At least I get a free Apple+ subscription for all MLS matches with the season tickets. I doubt the Pac-12/OSU will do something similar. |

I can pay with my Apple Card out of my Apple Wallet and stream Apple + on my Apple computer. I guess. As long as I can get it on my Apple Watch I’m all in!

Please Noooooooooo, not the evil empire! As if, amazon, Google, ESPN, and FOX are not? LOL At least I can get all of those on any kind of hardware. Locking us into a hardware choice is where this raises huge red flags with me... Apple is proud and stupid enough to believe that people will change their platform choice in order to get a few football games. Ain't happenin'. But they'll throw a boatload of money at it anyway, a futile effort driven by hubris. Taking that money might be a short-term gain, but it's a big expensive experiment that will ultimately fail, and when it does we'll be in a worse place than we already are now... |

I have two android TV's and two Amazon Fire TV sticks which all have the Apple+ app loaded on them. It's an app (edit for accuracy) "streaming service", it is not hardware. |

I have two android TV's and two Amazon Fire TV sticks which all have the Apple+ app loaded on them. It's an app (edit for accuracy) "streaming service", it is not hardware. I was right there with Jim on this whole anti-Apple thing. My wife wanted the app to watch Ted Lasso, so I jumped through the hoops to get it on our Roku stick. Getting the app was easy. Getting an account to use it was horrible. Having an apple account wasn't good enough. I had to install iTunes on my PC. How's that for stupid? To watch Apple TV on my Roku stick, I had to install iTunes on my PC. Because Apple. You have to "pay" for Apple TV (free at the time) through the iTunes store. By the time I got our free subscription set up and the credit card that they required me to have in iTunes, even though it was a free subscription, removed, and after having dealt with password hell in my Apple account and my iTunes account, I swore to my wife that we would absolutely never ever actually subscribe to Apple TV. I was just looking forward to the day that I would uninstall the app on Roku. But, then, she had lots of things that she liked on it and I ended up buying her a 1-year subscription to Apple TV for Valentine's Day. But I was still pissed off because there is no Apple TV app for my Android phone. I can watch Netflix on my phone and Amazon prime on my phone and HBO Max on my phone... But no Apple TV app. Turns out, though, that I can watch it on my Android phone through a browser. Still pisses me off that they won't make the app available for Android phones. But at least I have a subscription if football ends up there. |

I just don't see the casual football watcher getting a subscription to apple. While other leagues can turn on the tv and watch their teams for "free" we get to subscribe and pay to watch our teams.

What leagues these days can get all their games on "free" TV? Most games are cable or streaming these days and people are paying for them. They've got a subscription for something, just might have to tweak their subscriptions for a few months. |
