NONE of the rules have anything to do with fans (of any team) whatsoever, never have. These aren't sports leagues, they're TV content providers.

I get all of that. It just seems that once you get into the postseason, local rules sgould no longer matter when it's a nationally televised playoff game. The local blackout rules are pretty ridiculous anyway. I live hours from 3 different teams (Memphis, Cleveland and Indy) that I'm "blacked out" for - even though I have a streaming service from which I can't even purchase the local channel to watch if I wanted.
