I'm guessing a boston fan.
BTW, what you wrote means that you DO CARE.
The correct phrase is COULDN'D or CAN'T care less.
MLB EI on Roku looks bettr and better.
As a lifelong red Sox fan I am tempted to say who cares about theYankees but No fan should have to go without their team-----not even Yankee fans.

Did Charlie Ergen buy D*? 
Seriously, though - this is likely Yes trying to strongarm the MSO's into a higher price, with D* just being first in line.

Directv has a statement on their website out it too. It sounds like it will get done.
DIRECTV YES Network
DIRECTV YES Network
So E* could drop SNY and D* could drop YES. As I said in the Dish fourm, since the NY area has the most sport viewers, the RSNs over there are going to become (or already are) the most expensive to carry.
"If YES Network goes dark, MLB Extra Innings and NBA League Pass customers will continue to see Yankees and Nets games but will not have access to the YES Network feed. In most instances DIRECTV will provide the opposing team's feed for these packages. If you receive YES Network as your local RSN unfortunately these games will not be available."
Sounds like if you have a league pass then this threat by YES is somewhat hollow; right?

Not really. Even if you live in the NY area and have MLB EI, then the yankees/mets games will just be blacked out in the NY area, (even if you don't have YES/SNY)
You miss out on the Yankees Pre and Post Game and also dont get to hear the Yankees Announcers.
But at least you can still watch their games.

Oh well...i guess my local cable company will pay the termination fee. Hopefully things get worked out.
I Really Don't see DirecTV not getting a deal done for YES. I'm not a big Baseball fan, but DirecTV prides itself on being the service of choice for Sport Fans in general. Not having THE default Biggest franchise in one sport would be a DirecTV killer, and or a huge Black Eye for DirecTV.
Do I believe Dish will drop SNY? Absolutely, Dish has already proved they don't care about NY sports fans be refusing to sign a deal with YES, then the removal of MSG in October last year. Removing SNY would complete the trifecta and eliminate all NY sports teams completely. I became a DirecTV sub specifically for access to MSG (Buffalo Sabres Fan here).

seems kind of silly to be so knee-jerk reactionary even if a whole week goes by without it.
that's a PLUS!
I'm a Yankee fan, and I agree wholeheartedly! I don't know who is worse, Michael Kay or John Sterling.
