Local restaurants like Saucy Brew Works say they’re in support of one lawmaker’s effort to potentially stop Ohio’s public colleges and universities from airing sporting events exclusively on streaming platforms.
Game days in Ohio aren’t just a big deal for fans. Habusta said it’s a big moneymaker for their restaurant, too.At Saucy Brew Works, their environment is made to host sporting events, from their spacious dining area to multiple TVs.“It has a chain effect all the way down to kitchen staff that we have to cut because we’re not busy enough,” said Habusta.
He says he’s doing this because he’s worried about small businesses and college students who may not be able to afford to stream these games. “It's ridiculous that the little guy is going to get screwed in this again, that they pay more to watch a game on streaming or something down the road,” said DeMora.“I represent myself and other fans that, for the first time since 1997, weren't able to watch the game on a different network, and we had to pay for it by streaming. Those are my constituents, and I'm a fan, and I think something needs to be done about it,” said DeMora.
