Basically a guy presenting some issues with modern technology.
And in the middle of it (around 9 minutes for people curious), I learn that apparently there is something such as “black out policies” for home games in your home town?

How come that this can exist legally?
You’re correct, the original “reason” for the blackout many, many years ago was to retain the local ticket sales for the team and the potential tourism to the city.
Edit: most leagues honor an “if it sells out, then we don’t blackout” policy
Interesting, thanks.
