JJ Watt Criticizes ESPN Over YouTube TV Blackout
JJ Watt expressed his frustration with the ongoing dispute between ESPN and YouTube TV. Earlier this week, Watt publicly criticized ESPN after he was unable to watch the Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football game on YouTube TV. This blackout occurred because Disney removed its channels from the platform amid a carriage fee disagreement.
The crazy part is, I have some sort of subscription because I watch Espanyol matches on ESPN+ I don’t understand it and quite frankly just don’t really care to figure it out right now.

On Wednesday, Watt appeared on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show, where he announced he would no longer purchase streaming apps. He described the process as overly complicated and frustrating.
We need it. And I’m not going to enter my information on another frickin’ website, and I’m not getting a confirmation code sent to my email, clicking it and coming back and putting it in—I’m not doing it. I did it once, I have some sort of subscription, I have no clue what it is because I can only watch frickin’ half the content apparently, or it’s replay content that’s bull—-. Figure it out.
Pat McAfee shared Watt's statement on Twitter with the comment:
