We’re talking seconds of difference, a minute at most. Who cares? Put your phone down during the game and watch the actual fucking game and it won’t matter. Don’t worry about who’s tweeting the last play. Just watch the damn game.

Hell, I record the games I want to watch and start them an hour late so I can fast forward through commercials and still end the game close to the normal time. So most of the game I don’t watch anyways.

That all being said, fuck YouTube and the Sunday ticket bullshit. Too damn expensive.

Gamblers care. Since sports betting was made legal everywhere, gambling is an enormous source of ad revenue for every pro sport.

Lots of people only watch because of fantasy football.

If the scores on the app/site load before the play is shown, it kind of defeats the purpose.

Live sports kind of need to be live.
