The NFL, FOX Sports and CBS have been blasted for years over various television obligations and iffy broadcast rules. Those terrifying rules came into play today and affected an entire region of pissed off Seahawks fans. Most fans in the Pacific Northwest were forced to watch the entire OT period of the Bengals-Panthers game instead of watching their beloved Seahawks play the Cowboys.
The highly-criticized rules made those fans miss a huge chunk of the Seattle-Dallas game and they took to Twitter to unleash the fury. Here is a brief sampling:
NFL fail. Switch to the Seahawks. Superbowl champs. America’s team. Ridiculous. @nfl @fox12oregon @NFLonFOX

@fox12oregon nobody in this state cares about these teams, why we are not allowed to watch the game of the week or World Champions? SHAMEFUL
