I’m calling on the commissioners of all four major sports leagues and the United States Comptroller General to investigate these blackouts.
 

Team — It’s a Sunday in December, which means it's game day.

But across the United States, loyal sports fans will turn on their TVs just to find out that they’re unable to watch the game.

Why? Because of the outrageous monopolies held by ultra-wealthy sports team owners to sell television rights to a patchwork of broadcasters to make an extra dollar on the backs of hardworking sports fans.

And I’m doing something about it.

Warwick Valley Dispatch headline: Congressman Pat Ryan Demands Investigation Into Sports Blackouts, Decries Double Whammy Ripping Off Sports Fans Across The Country

For sports fans, catching your home hockey, basketball, football, and baseball team might mean paying thousands of dollars a month for different streaming services — and you still might not be able to watch. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I’m calling on the commissioners of all four major sports leagues and the United States Comptroller General to investigate these blackouts.

If you support this important work to get our sports games on air and stop corporate greed from getting in the way of us watching our favorite teams play, please add your name in support of my work to end these blackouts.

ADD YOUR NAME

Thanks for stepping up to the plate. This issue is near and dear to me — I loved watching sports with my dad growing up, and I love rooting for my favorite teams with my sons. Every family deserves the opportunity to watch the game.

Yours in service,

Pat
