In 2014 Directv paid the NFL $12 Billion for the rights to broadcast out of market games for 8 years. The NFL is getting their money, it's Directv that will lose.

The NFL may still get a few dollars somehow but I know I did the correct thing for me. Superbowl Sunday is going to be different this year.

If you're not paying for the football package then you have nothing to cancel. However, for those who pay $240 or $330 and want to cancel the package, Directv is allowing you to do so.
Myself, I have Directv and NFL Sunday Ticket. I have nothing to cancel since this year they gave me NFL Sunday Ticket for free. I've been a good customer with them since 2008 with the Premier Package and have NFL Ticket since 2011, so when I called to negotiate a better price, they gave NFL Ticket to me for free, I can't complain.
