Fans are not happy about the NFL's decision to broadcast the upcoming Chiefs vs. Dolphins wild-card playoff game exclusively on the Peacock streaming service, but they aren't happy about it.
The game is headed to the streaming service, marking the first time a playoff game will be played exclusively online after NBCUniversal and the NFL struck a $110 million deal to broadcast the game on the streamer. .
To watch the games, fans will have to pay a monthly fee of $5.99 or a one-year subscription to the service of $59.99.
Many people are very unhappy with this arrangement.
NFL fans have been slamming the league's move online.
So if you haven't subscribed, @peacockyou will no longer be able to watch it. @chief in Saturday night's playoff game.seriously @NFL 😡 This is a playoff game. No need to subscribe to yet another channel to watch the game.That's ridiculous #steal money

I hate how the NFL shoves Peacocks down our throats in Dolphins/Chiefs and playoff games. They could have easily told NBC to keep it on network TV. Total movement of pigs. pic.twitter.com/d45qAStxQr

“Are you all going to sign up for Peacock this weekend just to watch the Chiefs/Dolphins?”
Florida guy Dan Le Batard asks Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase one of the most ridiculous questions I've ever heard.

The NFL has become NFF instead of fan friendly.

Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu chimed in on the controversy by coming forward to get at least 90 fans to watch the game by giving away a ton of Peacock memberships.
Okay, Chiefs Kingdom, I saw your comment. We want everyone to see us play…so we're giving away 3 months of Peacock membership to 90 of his friends! To win, reply to this tweet with your reason for winning. please. We will choose the winner on Friday!
