Reading this thread makes me so happy I long ago lost interest in watching sports. It sounds like a complete headache to be a fan of any sport these days.

    It's all advertisement anyway.

    It's awful. I tried watching the NBA finals after years of not seeing commercials almost ever, and it was just unwatchable

    Sport + Americans = enshittification. They ruined F1, and more football hydration breaks are coming. They took over MotoGP and immediately killed the most popular race, then race those stupid Harley baggers.

    Fried chicken, Powerade, pizza, Pepto bismol, laxatives. Repeat. They sell you food you have to drug yourself to eat. Now "fans" only watch because they gambled on the game.

    Seems to be about equally expensive as a normal streaming service.

    It's free. They have premium servers, but it's free otherwise. Or am i missing something?

    When I try to click on the games on the homepage, it says I need a premium account. Am I missing something?

    Edit: I see—it’s only for the things labeled “other events” that premium is required. No horsie racing for me, I guess. ☹️

    NFL isn't bad, at least if you just want to follow your home team. The games are still broadcast free over the air, just got to buy a $20 antenna and you're set for life.

    Um, only Sunday games are available OTA. If you live in the market where your team plays you might get Monday and Thursday games OTA if you're lucky.

    Not only is watching sports harder it's littered with cheating because betting was let get it's hooks in it.

    You'll never know if you're watching a legitimate game.. looking at you NBA.
