The NFL called an audible with RedZone, and streamers are furious

Football and TV commercials go together like eggs and bacon, but NFL RedZone is — usually, at least — a weekly oasis from the relentless car, beer, and insurance ads. But this past Sunday, the NFL had a little surprise for RedZone streamers. 

Instead of seven hours of uninterrupted coverage of NFL teams making their way into scoring position, RedZone viewers found themselves sitting through four “short” commercial breaks, with the ads presented side-by-side with the gridiron while the football audio was muted.
