Everyone Is Making The Same Annoying Complaint About NFL RedZone, And It’s Not The Commercials [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

If you experienced technical issues with NFL Redzone today, fear not. You weren’t the only one.
Football fans were furious when RedZone removed the “commercial-free football” aspect from the program this year. ESPN acquired RedZone and NFL Network in a blockbuster deal over the summer. Sure enough, that meant drastic changes to Redzone none of the fans wanted.
Aside from sitting through commercials, fans had to endure another issue with Redzone: Some irritating technical difficulties, notably the audio issues:

What can we say? ESPN ruined the fun for a lot of fans when they added commercials to a program that was popular for being ad-free.
