2023-12-23
Arrr! The NFL be castin' its first game only on Peacock this Saturday night, and the landlubber football fans be not pleased with havin' to part with more of their doubloons for this new-fangled service. Aye, 'tis a storm brewin' amongst the masses!
Some NFL fans were not pleased when they were unable to watch the Los Angeles Chargers-Buffalo Bills game after the 4:30 p.m. matinee on NBC. Instead, the game was exclusively airing on the subscription-based streaming service, Peacock. This left fans frustrated as they were not expecting this surprise change in the broadcast. Many took to social media to express their discontent, with one user even cursing at the NFL Commissioner and NBC Sports. The frustration stemmed from the fact that fans already have to pay for various subscriptions like NFL Sunday Ticket, YouTube TV, and Amazon Prime Video, and now they are being asked to pay for Peacock just to watch a single game. Another user expressed their anger towards the NFL, stating that fans have to pay for multiple services just to watch one game on a Saturday. This was the first NFL game to be exclusively shown on Peacock, as the league has previously partnered with Amazon Prime Video for Thursday night games. The Bills had been performing well in recent games, while the Chargers fired their head coach after a significant loss. Overall, the unexpected change in broadcast left many fans unhappy and venting their frustrations on social media.
