Have you heard about Chicago Sports Network? It’s the new regional sports network for the Blackhawks, White Sox and Bulls owned by those three Windy City franchises and Standard Media, and all that came about after their NBC Sports Chicago contract ran out.
While this is all well and good, CHSN decided to put together a vertical score bug (that’s the name for the thing on your TV that shows you the score of your game, timeouts, time left, etc). And, hoo boy, let me tell you … people DESPISE it.
It’s too big, it looks like a banner and, yeah, not great. Fans agreed:
The Bulls’ new broadcast partner, Chicago Sports Network, debuted their scorebug tonight. Not only does it look like a random banner hanging from the TV rafters, it covers players in the top left corner of the screen. pic.twitter.com/w7EzOyRmHB

Might be the worst scorebug in sports https://t.co/ys6uUvwe2H

Not a fan of the vertical score bug on the CHSN Bulls broadcast. Covers up too much of the court and cuts off a player’s head when they are under it. pic.twitter.com/R2uyyrsPyJ
