Directv is having an issue with billing where they are double billing for NFL Sunday Ticket, this was just the last straw for me, and I had to take action.
Since last year the broncos were on free TV over half the time, and I really can't stand that ***** goddell (and frankly resent my hard earned dollars supporting his narcissistic dictatorial front office), I decided to cancel my ticket. While I knew in some ways this was "cutting off my nose to spite my face" as I would be missing many of the bronco games, I was willing to do this.
When I told the customer service rep that I wanted to cancel the Ticket, she asked why, I told her Goddell is a ***** and she offered me $10 per month for 6 months to keep the ticket. I was going to tell her "no", but decided to see if I could get them to give me $20 per month off for 6 months. After some checking the CSR came back with an offer to give me my high definition package ($9.95/mo) free for 6 months. Basically, my desire to save some money and watch the broncos overcame my desire to stick it to Goddell and I caved.
That phone call saved me $120 bucks and took about 5 minutes. I am sure everyone could get the same deal if they tried. Plus hopefully, if enough fans threaten to cancel because goodell is a *****, maybe the nfl owners will get the message and fire his ass!
