Fans Lash Out at Peacock For 'Unforgivable' Quality
During the matchup, fans who were watching at home were outraged. Many were disappointed with the quality of the telecast on Peacock and went on social media to bash the streaming service.
"FUCK YOU PEACOCK FOR FREEZING UP AT THIS TIME," one person said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"I am not a violent person but this is unforgivable!"
Ohio State Senator Slams Streaming Service
It's not only fans on social media who are upset with Peacock and their sports streaming services. Some lawmakers have just as much disdain for Peacock.
Ohio State Senator Bill DeMora also expressed his beef with Peacock during the regular season of college football. His disdain is because the streaming service only showed one Ohio State game in 2024. But it was one of the biggest games of the year against their bitter rival Michigan State. And if fans want to view it, they will have to purchase a one-month subscription just to view the one game.
Fans of course can enjoy all the other content on the platform as well. But that is not the point. DeMore believes it is just the latest example of greed from networks and streaming services.
"But while the executives at the Big Ten get even richer, the sports fans and common consumers get screwed! Even though I may be the biggest Ohio State fan in the country, this exclusivity deal is such a blatant scam that I will not be watching the game, and I know that many Ohioans will be doing the same because this greed-fueled garbage can hardly even be considered football at this point," DeMora writes.
"Fortunately, Ohio State only has one game streaming this year. I cannot imagine how awful it must be for a fan of some of the smaller schools with more of their games banished to streaming hell."
