Can’t I watch on a sketchy stream?

When big sporting events come around, there’s always a large crowd who head to sketchy websites that show sports for free.

These sites are completely illegal, so you’re breaking the law by watching them.

Not only that they’re always low quality and end up buffering at the crucial points, usually when someone is about to get knocked out. Additionally, they’re also a security risk because those kinds of sites typically have hidden nasties that install themselves on your computer or other device which could cause you issues in the future.

When you can watch for free on a legitimate stream using a VPN, why bother with dodgy sites?
