John Clayton Will be Missing His First Super Bowl Since 1983 Because of Directv

If there’s anyone who deserves to watch the biggest sporting event of the year, it’s John Clayton. The broadcasting legend took to Twitter like most famous people do, to complain about an issue with his Directv.  Apparently his local channel 7 isn’t being shown on the satellite provider because they can’t reach a deal with the local affiliate.

See his tweet below:

I can't believe my wife and I can't watch the Super Bowl because Directv and Cox tv cant reach a deal for channel 7 in Seattle. I've been to 45 Super Bowls. Missing my first since 1983. Locast is has problems connecting. I'm in the Hall of Fame. Directv is shutting us out.

Naturally Twitter had some suggestions:

Can someone tell the old guy, who's in the Hall of Fame evidently, how to sign up for YoutubeTV or some other service? https://t.co/iEfR27qY20

Sorry buddy. Did anyone tell you the news that hundreds of thousands of people are dead? https://t.co/Icld6nZXMO

There are obviously several other ways to watch the big game John.

Plus letting everyone know you’re in the Hall of Fame isn’t going to help your cause.

Cmon, be better legend.
