Sen Brown to NFL: Kill blackout policy

Sen Sherrod Brown (D-OH) urged the NFL to kill its blackout policy amid reports the Cincinnati Bengals playoff game could be blocked from appearing on Cincinnati-area TV sets due to unsold tickets. “This is unacceptable at a time when the price of attending games continues to rise, and the economy is not yet where it needs to be,” Sen Brown said. “Fans, through local taxes, often help pay for the stadiums. They should be able to cheer on their local teams, especially during the playoffs.”
