It's just the priciple of it, not the actual money.

Had the same thing happen to me with MLB.TV, they charged my CC for the subscription then declined to reimburse until months later...

Then I got a pro-rated refund, it still was less than a third of the season...

Two weeks later one of my former protege' that worked for me as a youngster told me he got the remainder of the reduced season (he'd only missed two weeks of games) for less than half for what I paid...

When renewal comes up for it in the spring, I'm going to request a loyalty discount for having stuck with them of 50%, and record the discussion via emails...

Another thing that annoys me about the Gamepass isbthe fact that their android smart TV app is broken in that it shows the gamescores even though I've selected it to not do that.

Wouldn't be a big deal if I'm watching them live, but I usually watch the later games the day after because of the time difference to Finland.

That would be a pain in the ass.

Nobody said it was going down. Just a cut in participation by 20-30% which is what people in the industry are saying so don't shoot the messenger.

Next year probably back up but the NFL will have to stop attacking police and military. They themselves are not 100% perfect with hunt, rae caruth, Ingram's Dad, Sharper. Maybe just don't beat your fist demanding other organizations to be perfect when they themselves have a lot of deuchebaggery every single year. More than just about any sport.

Yup. My response was more directed toward the other one.

I hope we both win. Different leagues this year. And you are correct, my much much better half. She's a feisty redhead and keeps me on my toes after 32 years. Married up for sure.
