> If the football game wasn't soldout, the NFL wouldn't broadcast it on TV
You’re missing a key part of this. It’s only “blacked out” in the local market of the home team.
If the Cowboys are playing in Jacksonville, you better believe that game is going to be on TV in Dallas (and possibly most of the rest of the country) no matter how many tickets get sold in Jacksonville.
That said, blackouts are very rare and AFAIK no game has been blacked out in about 5 years.
