Fubo CEO, David Gandler, is unhappy about Comcast's decision to exclusively stream an NFL Wild Card game on Peacock.
Fubo pays to air NBC, so the decision by Comcast creates competition between the two streaming platforms.
Peacock's exclusive stream of the game reached 23 million viewers, making it the most-streamed event ever for the service.

I'm a believer of "illicit streams." It gives you the ability to watch any game and you still see the ads, so to me it's still revenue for them. They're just getting super greedy.

I watched a stream in the UK to get those wildcards. Was it perfect? Nah, but it's cheaper and you get way more bang for the buck.
