      The NFL should fine him the $40 it would have cost him to sign up for Sling TV Blue. Or the $20 the introductory first month should have cost him.

      Absolutely this. It speaks a lot that it’s easier for a millionaire to pirate the game than to get it legally. Make it easy and cheap and people will use it.

    "Seahawks CB Tariq Woolen was using MethStreams to watch today’s NFL games. He makes over $1 million a year,”

    I hate to sound like that guy but, I’m on the side of those who can’t afford the luxury of streaming, playing games as they’re released and vice versa.

    He can afford it.

      The last time I tried to use the official stream for a hockey game, I couldn’t get it to load. Not in the app, nor the browser, neither from my cable provider nor the network itself. I gave up and went back to the pirate stream, which played in one click. (It does freeze sometimes and the quality isn’t quite as good, but at least it plays!)

      Yeah but blackouts are bullshit. Exclusive rights to games are bullshit. Everything that’s been done in the name of profit above all else is bullshit. Everyone deserves to sail.
