Thanks DirecTV, NFL Sunday Ticket isn't supported on BlackBerry anymore
Flag DirecTV for roughing the customer. After years of being able to watch NFL Sunday Ticket on my BlackBerry, suddenly it's gone. No longer supported.
And how did I find this out? Did DirecTV tell me when they automatically renewed my subscription this year? Nope.
Did they mention it in their monthly newsletter? Nope.
Did any of the 4,000 marketing emails they blast out happen to note they planned to abandon BlackBerry support? Nope.
Hunting for an update to the app yesterday, after last year's app failed to load, I finally found this web page.
You know what's even more amazing? Dropping BlackBerry support seems to be news to the NFL too. Here's their web page for NFL Sunday Ticket Mobile Apps.
Hmmm. That sure looks like a BlackBerry icon to me. But clicking it brought me to the same "Sorry, you lose" page that I found before.
Sadly, I'm probably the only guy who still cares. And in reality it's just another nail in BlackBerry's coffin. When you've lost the most popular sport in America, your demise is pretty much assured.
To sort of reinforce that point, somewhere Rutherford B. Hayes is laughing.

"See, I still have a BlackBerry."
Ouch.
