WWE fans crying (we have 3-5 subscriptions for all our shows
Fuuuuuuck. Good thing I never subscribed to any sport streams though
Welcome to watching sports in 2026 😭
ESPN+ was actually good if your team is in another TV market, but not broadcasting all the national playoff games was ridiculous - cancelled it.
I’m very close to Canada, bought try an antenna to grab the CBC broadcast.
Should we tell him?
Sorry the grammar in my comment was terrible. Thinking about getting an antenna, will this not work the way I imagine?

I prefer watching IRL anyway since I don't have a high refresh rate TV and I haven't even seen any broadcasts higher than the typical 24fps. I can almost never see the puck on TV. It moves too fast.
Also my team fucking sucks anyway. One of, like, only 2 teams that have never won the Stanley Cup.
Including Utah and Seattle, it's actually 10
But yeah, as a fan of a cup less team, I feel you there
Damn. And I thought my team sucked.
Go ducks!
Just need 1 subscription to an IPTV service. I'm using BunnyTV, what are other folks using?
Oh is this another one of those shitty things we have been leading the world with in the UK?
I think we've had as many as 4 subscriptions to legally watch all the broadcasted* matches of a top flight football team some years
*You still miss half the matches played because of the Saturday 3pm blackout, which prohibits those matches being broadcast
They are just begging for you to find a good pirate service and stop giving them money... you should definitely honour their wishes

One of my pirate feeds for the World Cup had an annoying "Scan this QR Code to pay for your TV license" graphic in the corner. How do you people live like that?
That was an isolated scheme for the world cup.
Just looked it up for Germany: Sky and DAZN for Bundesliga, Amazon Prime and Paramount+ (what?) for Champions League and apparently the CL final game is rumored to be aired on Netflix exclusively.

I just wanna give a shout-out to the Blab, who has been illegally broadcasting Mets and Rangers games (and other stuff, including jeopardy and Seinfeld) for more than a decade now. I gave you like .01btc in 2017 or 2018, and that's definitely a lot more now than it was then, but you deserve it.
Wow I think I used to watch that stream years ago, completely forgot about it
Similar for rugby in Europe. I subscribed last year and only discovered on the first day of the league that I was only getting 50/60% of my team's games in the domestic league, not to mention the other league.
I don't >:)
