Even if I only got it for the Hawks season it's more than a year of ESPN+ and a VPN.

That's absolutely the way to go. The economics of those numbers don't work out because they want to milk fans for the price over the year when we'd unsubscribe for off months. 300 for the year is 8.33 a month per team. So they are hard hedging toward yearly subs. It's ridiculous. Anyone who doesn't want all theee teams are going to be taken up the ass.

And they, and a lot of other networks and providers, wonder why piracy is on the rise.

Thankfully here the only blackout I get is for the Kraken because they are carried by Root sports which is part of the cable/satellite/streaming packages. But even so you'd think they would learn and realize that they stand to make money if fans can see the games and pull in advertising revenue, as opposed to blacking the game out and having piracy happen, which garners them no revenue.
