It’s simply a service problem. NFL offers great streaming for those abroad because they don’t have exclusive deals with networks. If you want to watch NFL you need numerous subscriptions, and hope you don’t live in the wrong area.
This! I imagine this guy has every paid service this could have been on, but then you need to sleuth what it’s on. Easier to go to a one stop shop, which with sports in the US is gonna be pirate because the deals for who airs what is insane. Even if it was on Fox, it would take non-0 effort to determine that, open your Hulu with live TV or YouTube TV, maybe it was only available live and you failed to fake DVR it…
WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD STREAMING ON AN NFL PLAYER SALARY, PRICES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH
"Seahawks CB Tariq Woolen was using MethStreams to watch today’s NFL games. He makes over $1 million a year,”
I hate to sound like that guy but, I’m on the side of those who can’t afford the luxury of streaming, playing games as they’re released and vice versa.
He can afford it.
It’s more than likely a problem of service, not price. Even if you have all the money in the world, bad service is bad and people’s time and patience aren’t infinite.
he knows the nfl is stealing the value he creates. he doesn’t need to pay them
The last time I tried to use the official stream for a hockey game, I couldn’t get it to load. Not in the app, nor the browser, neither from my cable provider nor the network itself. I gave up and went back to the pirate stream, which played in one click. (It does freeze sometimes and the quality isn’t quite as good, but at least it plays!)
I feel that. Getting the official steam working, plus dealing with blackouts is a nightmare. I usually just listen to the game on the radio and check the box score every period on my phone. It’s unbelievable how much the official stream costs compared to the low quality of the app. And still being subject to blackouts at that price is insane.
Not to mention that my team is basically a factory of sadness anyways, so once regular season is over there’s not much for me to keep up with.
I’m so conflicted
Don’t hate the player, hate the game 🏴☠️
Absolutely this. It speaks a lot that it’s easier for a millionaire to pirate the game than to get it legally. Make it easy and cheap and people will use it.
Usually I get pirates’ points, but I mean…this game was on freaking FOX. The dude’s a millionaire and can afford the most expensive streaming package in the world, and even if he couldn’t, Sling TV Blue is only $40/mo and has FOX on it.
With all the popup ads, piracy for live television is actually MORE cumbersome and inconvenient than just paying for live television. If you’re out of market or the game is on a channel that’s obscure or only on something that charges like $70/mo, I’d understand this a bit more.
His team owner gonna punish him for this
The NFL should fine him the $40 it would have cost him to sign up for Sling TV Blue. Or the $20 the introductory first month should have cost him.
His owner gonna extract value in another way.
These guys are deff elite rich but they are not owner class.
And there is one thing a daddy hates the most, a bitch who is causing him problems and not making him money.
Strapling young jock ia doing both here, daddy mad, daddy punish
