And now you're contemplating if you should continue to give these people thousands of dollars?
Take any other similiar product. Let's say Cineplex Odeon offers 41 movie nights for 5 thousand dollars and can't promise a single evening will show a good movie. And the tax payers must pay for the building otherwise they'll build a theatre someone else. All while Google searches show all those 41 movies for free right at home.
I personally think anyone who gives these people a single penny is a bloody moron. And I watch all 82 games if I so choose

2 out of 8 good movies is a pretty good ratio. Personally, I fall asleep watching 9 out of 10 movies.
