On March 1, 2023, Kick sensation Adin Ross got together with Tyler "Trainwreckstv" and prominent esports personality Jake "JakeSucky" Lucky. During their conversation, the latter inquired about the controversy surrounding popular streamers on the platform re-broadcasting the Super Bowl.
According to Adin Ross, he contacted someone and claimed to have obtained permission to broadcast the annual sporting event. Meanwhile, Trainwreckstv stated that watching copyrighted content will "not be tolerated," and that DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) laws exist on Kick:
"Yeah, the watching of anything will not be tolerated. DMCA laws do exist and there will be enforced. So, have that common sense. If it ever happens, then it clearly was... because there was a special circumstance in that scenario. Beyond that, that's as much as I can give you."
