• Discovery Plus, a very shitty service

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 18 17:09:13 2024
    I pay 9.99€/month for the Discovery Plus service.
    My only reason for subscribing is men's tennis.

    What do I get? Well, this week we had ATP500
    Rotterdam. Discovery Plus pisses into my eyes
    by showing FUCKING WHEELCHAIR TENNIS from
    Rotterdam. How can this be true? Unbelievable!

    Holy fuck, I do not give a shit about women's
    tennis and I care even less for the fucking
    wheelchair tennis. I only watch men's Challenger
    Tour and the main ATP/ITF matches.

    Discovery Plus, fuck off! If you keep pissing
    off your paying customers like this, I will stop
    my fucking subscription. I will never pay anything
    for fucking wheelchair tennis, ever.

    Wheelchair tennis is so low class and pathetic. I am
    overweight and 50 years old but I could beat the hell
    out of those wheelchair athletes every day. You cannot
    play tennis in a wheelchair, that is ridiculous.

    Discovery Plus is a fucked up channel for sure.

    Perfect example of why I have stuck with traditional cable and get 95%
    of the tennis/American pro and college football/NHL hockey/MLB
    baseball/racing coverage that I want. Granted I pay more than using
    streaming services, but at least I have everything I usually want as
    soon as I turn on my TV...

    Funny, I thought KK's post was satire of Sawfish's view that we
    shouldn't care about Navalny/Putin because *he* doesn't. *shrugs*

    I never saw that angle; but then I don't typically waste my time arguing politics because its almost impossible to change my opponent's mind to
    my 'enlightened' viewpoint...

    Then why don't you embrace any of the Russian, Christian, anti-globalist or anti-zionist perspectives?

    what is it with Americans and college level sports? why do you guys love
    it so much? Over here the nearest can think we have is Championship
    football which is the league below the Premiership, but these are
    pro-teams they are vying for a Premiership spot and it a serious level difference below the Premiership.

    1) Many USA folks love college sports because so many of us went went to
    that specific university or knew someone that did. We would walk a mile
    at most and cheer players that we would often see on campus or even have
    in the same classroom.
    2) Until NIL, college sports was amateurs that were playing for the love
    of game (and often getting a partially or fully paid for degree while
    doing so). Just like when I play tennis; I do it for the love of the
    game and the benefits of playing it.
    3) College sport teams don't blackmail towns/cities/states into giving
    up more money to millionaire athletes and billionaire owners for a new
    stadium funded by taxpayer money. Many resent that, as do I.

    Those are three reasons off the top of my head.

    I don't think it's necessary to change anyone's mind, merely to present
    an observation as food for thought.

    If a person isn't going to look into all sides of a political position
    before deciding their own position, I highly doubt that one or two
    pointers from me will change their viewpoint to echo mine. Wasted time
    for both them and I.
