Often, when we take a look at whatever politicians and important figures do, chances are we’ll only pay attention to their wrongdoings. However, there are some cases where some figures who don’t have the best reputation do something good that ends up confusing everyone. In this particular situation, we’re talking about Senator Mike Lee from Utah, who, to the surprise of many, called for a federal probe into the NFL’s streaming deals, leaving many residents bewildered about whether to praise the Senator.
The original article from The Wrap made its way to the Utah subreddit, where many Utah citizens learned that Senator Mike Lee called on the DOJ and FTC to investigate the NFL’s dealings with streaming platforms.
As the article mentions, NFL fans have had to spend thousands of dollars a year to keep track of all the NFL games, since some are available on different streaming platforms. The aim of this investigation is to see if the distribution practices align with the Sports Broadcasting Act.
Now, while the news is old, it has resurfaced because the deadline for comments from the DOJ and FTC is April 13, next week, so we’ll soon have more information on this situation.
Utah Citizens Don’t Know Whether to Praise or Complain About Mike Lee
Another new thing is that several Utah residents, especially those who just learned about this call to investigate the streaming dealings, don’t know whether to praise Senator Lee or keep complaining about him. All of this confusion has led to some contrasting comments on the Reddit post.
“Ultra rare Mike Lee W?“
“Can’t stand Lee, but he’s not wrong on this one.“
And while some praised the Senator’s action, as they would definitely benefit NFL fans, others didn’t let go of their hatred for Lee and continued to show it in the comments section.
“Hey Mike Lee, pay attention to the GLOBAL STATE OF AFFAIRS.“
I see he’s laser-focused on things that aren’t important to people.
While opinions are all over the place, it seems the majority agree that this is a good move on his part, and one that is extremely friendly to those in Utah, and potentially also to those outside the state.
