When shown a video that depicts delays at various intervals compared to the live feed at the stadium, US sports viewers were frustrated with the delays in the stream while watching the game.
Of those surveyed, 16 per cent said the video was the most frustrating 80 seconds of their life and would definitely not continue watching, and 21 per cent were frustrated and would likely not continue watching.
