If so, not a big deal bc the Cowboys don’t get blacked out. I would, however, buy the Rangers MLB package, but Texas and Louisiana are both blacked out bc they’re considered in the market (like I’m gonna drive 8 hours to Arlington).
Does this actually matter?

For fans of teams that get blacked out regularly, yes.

and how the NFL feared television would ruin local support of the teams.
