Rev. Jackson: Blackout Rule is About Paychecks, Not Just Pay TV

Reverend Jesse Jackson is the latest fan of the sports blackout rule to write Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler about keeping the rule.

Rev Jackson argues the issue is about backs and hands, not just eyeballs, and paychecks, and not just pay TV.

Rev Jackson says in his letter that while some argue eliminating the rule is simply adjusting to an "expanding video climate," free, over-the-air TV viewers "should not bear the brunt of the harm, and stadiums should not be robbed of their value, especially in communities with some of the greatest economic needs."
