    Re: Effective 4/1:  Sprint Football Live!

    I am so upset about this as a customer and as a stock holder... SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOSE THEIR JOB FOR THIS... Also they [Sprint] needs to credit it's customers for service as this **** they are offering is just not thworth it and as a stock holder it devalues the stock to lose this.... I am wondering what is are the steps to sue as  a stock holder and shake this board anup to wake up. SERIOUSLY!?!?! I am filing a complaint with the SEC and going to find out the answers to see what a class action suit for the stock holders. This is unacceptable.. well at least we can listen to NASCAR... HA! (I like NASCAR but it cannot compete to the NFL..SERIOUSLY!...

    Sprint had paid $120 million for an exclusive deal with NFL, It ran out, Verizon bid $720 million for it and won. That's the way the ball bounces.(pun intended)

    Re: Effective 4/1:  Sprint Football Live!

    fair enough .. but seriously the real isue is that they continue to charge for a "service" that used to be there and now it isnt so shouldnt there be a price adjustment for this? 

     

    Even if Sprint couldnt come up with the money for the NFL .. as I recognize that Verison probably could offer more for the same content and distribute it thru more of thier media channels ... so I can see how sprint lost this and couldn't pay tp play... but they can't charge us for a service that they used to offer and now it is not coming back across. There needs to be an adjustment for the customers.  Don't think they wouldnt charge us for any opportunity to make a penny.

     

    I guess I am jsut a rambling mad man .. so pay me no harm I jsut have to get this out my system as it hurts to know the technology I trust and love is not meeting my needs and wants and I am paying more for it... hmmm .. I am going to sittwith this for a few and see what I come up with LOL!

    Re: Effective 4/1:  Sprint Football Live!

    Can anyone tell me how to use the player tracker function.  I can't find anywhere to choose players and when I click on the tracker it just says check back later for updates.  I tried during the games Sunday and got the same thing.  If it's tied to the FFL sites available in the app, I am playing on Yahoo and have the app loaded but it's not pulling those players in so I don't have any idea what to do.
