It's about $20/month in the UK to watch all of the games (legally) via DAZN. So I guess that + a VPN isn't a bad option.

Doesn't UK have a similar problem but with soccer (The real game you play mainly with foot) games?

The name football comes from the fact that it was played _on_ foot by the commoners, as opposed to the equestrian sports played by the nobility.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word) suggests neither definition has definitive support, giving a counter-example:
> Conversely, in 1363, King Edward III of England issued a proclamation banning "...handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock-fighting, or other such idle games",[7] suggesting that "football" may have been differentiated from games that involved other parts of the body.

But NFL doesn't have all of the other games. It has the season for the league, and that's it. So there's no need to find your team's games in the international tournaments. Or the various providers for any of the national tourneys either. Also, there's only 16 games in the normal season, plus maybe a couple more for play offs. So you're paying a much higher rate for each individual game when you divide the cost per game for the subscription. The NFL is nothing but $$$ grab

Unrelated to your point, but there are 17 games in a season now (and they are floating the idea of 18 games).

It would be cheaper for me to order a brand new MacBook Air to my mother-in-law in the UK, and then run an exit node via Tailscale, to access DAZN.
She has fiber, I have fiber, would work like a charm.

I use a similar setup with my brother who lives in Europe, but instead of a
MacBook Air, I’m using a Raspberry Pi.
The Pi runs Tailscale as an exit node, and whenever I want to catch a game or a
show, I simply connect to that exit node from my computer and launch the DAZN
web app. It’s not something I use all the time, but it’s a great option when I
need access to a game that isn’t available on my local streaming services.
While this setup works, it’s far from ideal. Having to go through the entire
process is a bit cumbersome. It would be much more convenient if there were a
way to directly access the video feed stream—maybe with a dedicated cable box
that you can control remotely.
I’ve also come across some dubious streaming sites that broadcast virtually
every channel from multiple providers—literally thousands of channels. I’ve
always been curious how they manage to pull that off.
