An act committed by those viewing a sporting event live or on broadcast TV, whereby texts or tweets announce key events (such as scores, turnovers, or big defensive plays) before they happen on live streaming (because streaming is several seconds delayed behind real time or broadcast TV). Thus our broadcast TV friends ruin the sports viewing experience for those of us online by giving away the outcomes before we see them happen.
