Urge the Indiana Pacers to End Their Relationship with Bally Sports
Urge the Indiana Pacers to End Their Relationship with Bally Sports
The Issue

As devoted fans of the Indiana Pacers, we are deeply disappointed by the team's current broadcasting relationship with Bally Sports. This partnership has made it increasingly difficult for us to watch our beloved team play. We feel sidelined and ignored, unable to participate in what should be a shared community experience.
The issue lies in Bally Sports' limited accessibility. Many fans have found themselves unable to access games due to regional restrictions or high subscription costs. According to a report from The Athletic, an estimated 30% of local viewers were unable to watch their favorite teams on Bally Sports during the 2020-2021 NBA season (source: The Athletic).
Additionally, Bally Sports recent technical difficulties have left many fans unable to view their favorite team even though they are paying Bally.
We urge the Indiana Pacers to follow in the footsteps of the Phoenix Suns and make Indiana basketball available to everyone.
This lack of access not only frustrates fans but also undermines support for our home team. It is crucial that all Pacers' games are accessible and affordable for everyone who wishes to watch them.
We urge the management of Indiana Pacers to reconsider their partnership with Bally Sports and seek out a broadcasting partner that values inclusivity and fan engagement as much as we do.
Please sign this petition if you believe every fan should have equal opportunity to support our team. Let's bring back basketball for everyone in Indiana!
