"TikTok titan MrBeast and YouTube's introductory NFL broadcast encounters technical glitches and a split in opinions"
The first NFL game to be broadcasted on YouTube has sparked a wave of reactions from fans, with opinions ranging from praise to criticism. The game in question, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, featured a unique production team, including mega streamer MrBeast, Deestroying, and other online personalities.
While some fans applauded the top-notch video quality, reminiscent of Super Bowl standards, others found the broadcast to feel more like a TikTok than an NFL game. One fan even suggested that the inclusion of YouTubers in the broadcast team made sense, given the platform.
However, not everyone was pleased with this innovative approach. Some fans criticised the sports commentary as "cringe" and expressed a desire to keep MrBeast away from the NFL game. Another fan went as far as to comment that these personalities are not sports people and make content for children.
The broadcast was not without its technical issues, with some fans reporting audio problems and one fan pointing out that a live play was missed to show a replay. Additionally, there were complaints about the addition of a fake crowd cheer to the broadcast, which some felt detracted from the authenticity of the game.
One Liverpool fan account issued an apology for a disrespectful post about Mo Salah, while another fan reported experiencing similar issues during the YouTube NFL broadcast. Despite these challenges, followers of talkSPORT USA can catch the latest news, exclusive interviews, and more by subscribing to their YouTube channel or following them on Facebook.
