no to YES?
talk about your moral dilemmas. the Yankees and Cablevision are currently in arbitration to determine whether Cablevision can force subscribers to pay extra in order to receive the YES Network. if they are allowed to do so, it will trigger clauses that allow other cable providers to follow suit. if that happens, what's a Yankee hater to do? pay the extra $2 or $3 a month in order to see the games against the Red Sox and others or expand my Quixote-esque Yankee Stadium boycott to the realm of TV? that $30 or so per year is the equivalent of a couple of tickets. but then they also show the occasional English Premier League game, plus they have coverage of the NCAA Hockey Tournament. i'm torn - but I can't root for the Yankees to win the case, because then they stand to make even more money by being able to charge cable providers based on their total number of subscribers. any help out there?
