Please explain why you are not "permitted" to air the game on the night playing if tickets were not sold out. Many teams, of all kinds, air the games, and I doubt that they are all sold out. If "whoever" feels that someone is not supporting the schools by staying home to watch the game on TV, they are sadly mistaken. First of all, a game on TV is never like being there in person. Second, I work with MRDD adults that love football. They are usually on tight incomes. They sometimes get to go to the games. If something unplanned happens and they use their money for that week, then they can not go to the game. Why should they or anyone wait til Sunday to watch a game that played on Friday? All gamers want to watch the game. It is just things come up to prevent them from going. If you have explained to the public before, I missed it. If there is someone to get in touch with, please give that info too, so this rule can be changed. It seems very unfair to me. Thank You for your time.
