This development comes just two weeks after YouTube TV also enraged NFL fans by announcing that their service will go from $72.99 to $82.99 per month in the new year, with the playoffs set to begin in January.
Social media had plenty to say following the news that Methstreams and Crackstreams have been shut down:
“A massive L for us all. But there is always another,” said one fan.

REPORT: The FBI Knows Who’s Behind All The Recent Robberies Involving Superstar Professional Athletes

The FBI seems to be closing in on the people responsible for burglarizing the homes of professional athletes.
The disturbing trend of celebrity athletes’ homes being broken into has continued. Luka Doncic has joined a long list that also includes Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Travis Kelce, Bobby Portis Jr., Tyler Seguin, and Dak Prescott.
The Mavericks superstar had his home broken into Friday night as he reportedly had jewelry valued at around $30,000 stolen, according to a police report obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
“No one was home at the time, and thankfully Luka and his family are safe,” Doncic’s business manager Lara Beth Seager told the newspaper. “Luka has filed a police report, and an investigation is ongoing.”
The home of Tyler Seguin, a longtime Dallas Stars leader and seven-time NHL All-Star, was burglarized last month.
Before that, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had their homes hit. Joe Burrow’s home and Dak Prescott’s fiancee’s car would be next.
