In the US American football only recently became available on streaming - it is currently $450 or $500 per season. You can go to a bar every week and have several drinks and a meal for that money. It’s a little crazy.

$500 a year is still at around half the price of cable tv where I live, if you want any sport, largest cable package would be $1213 per year. So you could get all the games you wanted to see, rather than just the ones the TV stations decided to buy, and still have money left over to subscribe to a few streaming services. Edit: Something something, cost of living. $500 is 3300DKK, which would let you go to a bar, have a meal and four or five beers only seven times.

  A meal and 5 beers cost $70 in Denmark? That's expensive.

    Sorry, haven't been out for a while, I was wrong about the price of beer. It has gone up. The five beers (0.5L) is $43.95, leaving $26 that's going to be a rather cheap meal, you're certainly not eating at the bar on game day at that point. You could get ribs or a burger at a restaurant, but you're a little short if you want steak.... And you don't exactly have money for a drink with your meal.

    All the Scandinavian countries are expensive (when converting from USD), especially for alcohol.

Where is this streaming option available for $500? I do not see it on nfl.com If it is subject to blackouts, it does not count. https://www.nfl.com/ways-to-watch/ https://www.nfl.com/ways-to-watch/

  I'm not OP, but the NFL's streaming service is called 'NFL Sunday Ticket' ( https://nflst.directv.com/ https://nflst.directv.com/ ) and costs $99 per month. For that price, you get all the NFL games except Monday night and Thursday night games...
