For those asking, the #BlueJays games scheduled to be on Facebook exclusively are April 18 vs. #Royals and May 24 vs. #Angels. More dates could be added by #MLB

To clarify, #MLB has sold exclusive broadcast rights to a number of weekday afternoon games to Facebook. The April 18 and May 24 games are now no longer available to Sportsnet to broadcast. You can still follow the #BlueJays along the #Sportsnet Radio Network.

Wait. What?

[devo]

Well that's a pile of ******** right there

Well, that's just astronomically dumb.

[Deadpool]

Oh good, according to the tweet comments (notoriously reliable), the Facebook feed won't even be available in Canada.

LOL @ not having a VPN in 2018.

These are day time games, it isnt as easy having a VPN on your work computer

[Brownie19]

LOL @ not having a VPN in 2018.

 

I don't even know what VPN is!

[Jonn]

I seriously have to log onto Facebook to watch Blue Jays games.

 

 

Seriously Facebook is the most useless form of social media in the current year. I stopped using it 5 or 6 years ago.

I enjoy your contributions and I think you're a smart guy but the condescending tone of most of your posts makes you come off as a douche tbh

I'm sorry what the actual f***?

[Orgfiller]

I can't wait to watch a f***ing stream OF a stream because Facebook sucks ass.

[P2F]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it'll be on MLB.tv as well.

[KevinGregg]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBStreams/ will likely have the FB game streaming.

[bones10]

wow that is really f***ing dumb, are all teams subject to this at some point or is Rogers being jewish?

The owners apparently unanimously approved the sale of the rights to facebook. So all 30 owners are in on it

[Jonn]

I mean we can only hope but exclusive usually means exclusive. Its pretty unreal that the media company that owns the team is locked out of broadcasting its own teams games. Its kind of hilarious.

Deleted my Facebook for good two years ago, (not 'disabled' or whatever nonsense) and with the current controversy going around you gotta think this was a terrible decision.

I have a VPN, but that's hardly the point, is it?

[AledmysDiaz]

I don't understand why people are so upset. Facebook paid for these exclusive rights and sports broadcasting is a business

 

It's just that simple. If you want to see the game you have to go on Facebook which is actually cheaper than Rogers or MLB TV because it's actually free

Probably because Facebook is a cancerous plague and being forced to sign up to watch the jays is f***ing ********.

Im at work, would have loved to record the game and watch it when I get home. Pretty hard to do that on facebook. Plus, I'd imagine for those who live in rural areas the stream quality will never match that of their satellite. Plenty of reasonable reasons to not like this IMO

[Shart]

I deleted my Facebook account a few years and ago and more people have recently because of the privacy issues. This is BUNK!

 

#f***Facebook

[Boxcar]

More of Rob Manfred trying to reach the kids? Does he know that mostly old people use Facebook?

 

Man, this guy is such a plague on the game. Bring back Selig.

It's not free. You are paying by giving up your privacy.

Exactly. He should be on snapchat if he wants to reach the young generation.

I've never used it. I just know younger people do.

What privacy are you giving up?

[Shart]

What privacy are you giving up?

 

You don't follow the news much I see

 

Google "Cambridge Analytica" and that'll give you your answer.
