Any way to opt out of the $14.45/month Regional Sports Fee?

I thought maybe this was a government-mandated fee, but according to Xfinity it's levied at their pleasure:

"The Regional Sports Network Fee is an itemized charge that you'll see on your bill. This charge is not a government-mandated fee and will increase from time to time. It's based on our costs of providing the regional sports networks that we carry on our cable systems in each area. These costs include the fees that regional sports networks charge us to carry them on our cable systems, which are among our largest increasing costs. The Regional Sports Network Fee is not included in our promotional pricing or pricing under your minimum-term agreement and can increase during your promotion or minimum-term. You'll receive advance notice before an increase takes effect."

Hi, @Anon296804! Thanks for spending your time to reach out by using our Forums page. I definitely understand the inconvenience that this fee has caused you as I never like seeing fees on my bill that increase my rate. We can certainly help do all that we can to get you into a rate that works best for you with the services that you enjoy. The regional sports fees are costs charged by programmers to carry regional sports networks and while this fee is increasing, it covers only a portion of the costs that are paid by Comcast. Our digital channel lineups include a variety of programming that appeals broadly to our customers' interests, including general entertainment, news, and sports programming. Under the current distribution model, we offer these very popular regional sports networks on our most widely distributed levels of service, and this fee covers a small portion of our costs to carry these increasingly expensive channels. If you’re interested in paying less for TV, we have some great options for you to consider, including packages that don’t include sports channels. To research this further please send us a private message with your name and address by clicking the chat icon located in the top right corner on your forums page when signed in.

Thank you for your response, ComcastGabe. Yesterday I spent three hours participating in dysfunctional chats and on the phone with Xfinity support agents resolving an unrelated issue; I don't think I could put myself through that again. If Xfinity has a solution for the issue posed in the OP then they can contact me; they have my number. 

No problem. This is definitely not the experience that we like to hear about. We understand that your time is valuable. I would not want to go through that as well. I actually spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday with Legal Zoom to find out why is my business license taking so long to arrive in the mail. I apologize for the inconvenience that we have caused you. I truly want to help and rectify this experience by exploring all of the promotions available to see if I can get you into a better deal. How does this sound?
