YES Network Plasters The Port Authority With Anti Comcast Ads
This week the YES Network started openly telling their fans to leave Comcast because they aren’t hopeful that a resolution will be found to get YES back on Comcast. In interviews, they have been blasting Comcast while airing 30 second ads during Spring Training games for the streaming audience, and construction workers at a bar in the middle of the day to watch Spring Training and have a few drinks before going back to work. All of this was pretty aggressive and could be seen as a a negotiating tactic to get Comcast to drop their favored nations clause to gain more exclusivity in this new deal. However, just when I thought that this was just a cat and mouse game between the two, YES went Draft Kings on Comcast and took over a major transit hub.
Even though the Yankees only owe 20% of YES now, this still has got to give you pride as a Yankee fan. Someone talks trash because they beat us, we pull out the 27 championships and stuff them in a locker. Some fan points out that their team is on the upswing, we point to the longevity of the Yankees being in contention. Some cable company wants to make it so fans can’t watch games with the season only a few weeks away, buy out a major Northeast transit hub and put them on blast to the entire bridge and tunnel crew. It’s the kind of power move that you don’t see anymore unless you’re watching a Trump debate.
Seriously though, if you try to cancel Comcast good luck. I hear they’ll just put you on hold until the office closes so your only real option is to show up in person and stand in line with all the worst people on earth because the only people worse than people at the Port Authority, are people who have to show up in person to pay bills.
