Fox SportsSouth/League Pass Rant

Im sure this will get buried but...

I live in Knoxville, Tn. I, a native Memphian, like 80% of the population in Knoxville that cares about the NBA, am a Grizzlies fan.

Fox sports south here has the rights to Both the Grizzlies games, and the Hawks games. If I had to guess, 1% of the rest of the city that cares about the NBA are hawks fans. But since ATL is closer, the geniouses at FSS put hawks on priority. So if the Hawks aren't playing, well get to watch the grizz, but they wont even fucking put it on the schedule! It will still say like college volleyball or a D2 regular season football game rerun.

But, If you lived in Utah, they wouldn't air any grizzlies games Sciencevolforlife, thats why they have League Pass. Sure. BUT since FSS has the rights to the Grizz games, every single Grizzlies game is blacked out on both League pass and NBAtv. Even when FSS doesn't air the game. So im stuck trying to stream the game when I would glady pay the $270 to watch them, and all other nba games, in HD on my Tv.

Solutions: 1)Fox has 3 fucking sports channels here. 3. Why do you have to show Las vegas pro-am boxing at 7pm on a Tuesday on fox sports TENNESSEE. Show the fucking grizz

2)League Pass, Dont fucking black out the game if the "local channel" isn't showing it. Its bullshit. I wouldn't have even know about that if it werent for a free trial.
