But you have to pay for ESPN3 in some manner

Not really. It's a free add on that comes with what I would already be paying for internet and cable regardless of whether I liked footie.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Yep, I guess some of us are just plain dumb.

Sorry for misunderstanding but posts like

"towel heads 1, USA 0"

"no more serie A on tv" etc. etc. kind of lead to the idea that you guys are under the impression Al Jazeera would buy the rights to deprive you of watching it....which is dumb.

 

[Enron]

Well I'm going to continue spreading mis-information.

Well what can you do, some here are just ordinary people after all.

That is not where I was going with it. As of right now, Al Jazeera is not available in a lot of US markets, mine included. So, unless they have a partnership that they will be announcing with ESPN and the like, a lot of us are screwed. Especially since most cable companies, mine included, will only add foreign programming if their is an overwhelming demand for it. And the region I live has a lot of people of spanish, italian, and portugese descent, thereby minimizing my chances to get Al Jazeera.

Yeah but why would they spend so much buying the rights to a sports league if they didn't have plans to have a mass market watching it?

Also to the dickhead -

Well of course they aren't going to purchase the rights to Serie A if they don't plan on showing it here but that means there is every chance they wouldn't allow ESPN's free streaming service to continue like it is now.

Wow some of you are dumb....why would they buy the us rights if they didn't plan on people watching it?

"Questions surrounding how Al Jazeera Sports Network plans on broadcasting Serie A and La Liga games next season remain unanswered. Expect more details to be announced in the coming months. "

Chill out....

Pretty sure they already announced La Liga would be shown in Arabic, i'm guessing the same with Serie A.


Before sounding like a jerkoff you need to realize:

1. Hardly anybody offers al jazeera

2. i don't want to watch that shit in arabic

 

[Enron]

They're probably just going to taunt us. Hold the programming over our heads and force us to stream in low quality while running sideline stadium adds about how awesome it is that America can't see Italian Feet. At least that's what I would do.

What concerns me is that it is going to require me to subscribe to Al Jazeera's US Based cable channel, and I don't have that on my current service. I don't have an issue subscribing to it if that is what it takes, but its not even available to me yet.

Al Jazeera has English programming. They even have an American affiliate.

And it's all because Obama apologizes for America.

You seem to missed the point - They wouldn't buy the rights to not sell it to the same market thats already watching it. Also I stream from Al Jazeera and its in English with British commentators - in fact I look for al jazeera streams for that reason.

You have no idea how it will be run and neither do I, maybe they are awful at business and plan to deprive there main market of the product.

They've been growing their American coverage for the last 5 or 6 years so it wouldn't surprise me if this was a part of some big move to offer Al Jazeera America to major providers like BBC does.

You're right, I will.

 

[icemaη]

It's all part of their plan to humiliate the American public

 

[Ford Prefect]

You're right, I will.

- for the first time that was actually funny.

Yeah, as if we don't do a good enough job of that on our own
