Football fans are in shambles after learning that two popular streaming websites have been shut down…less than two weeks before the 2024-25 NFL playoffs commence.
Today, fans of all sorts were stunned and saddened to hear that Methstreams and Crackstreams have been shut down. Both were popular streaming sites for live sports events, and the timing couldn’t be worse for football fans with the NFL playoffs right around the corner.
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.
