Root sports

I see BE is reporting the Blazers in 21-22 are moving from CSN to Root sports.

I'm not familiar with Root sports and don't know how it will impact how the average sports fan but
am least happy they are leaving CSN.

That would be awful. It seems most of the online streaming services (youtubetv, sling, Hulu, etc) don’t carry Root.

I like how Blazers always claim innocence on the business practices of the media companies that control broadcasting games. Blazers are the ones that decide the rules for pursuing profit.

I'm not sure how much I trust this I remember back in the 2016 off-season, I heard rumors that all Blazer games were moving to Root Sports and that never happened.

If they do what a horrible decision for us fans trying to watch games. I believe ATT streaming at $85 per month is the only current way to get ROOT now. Maybe ROOT will expand to another streaming platform? if not I will likely not be watching games anymore next yr.

Return to Portland Trail Blazers
