The longtime sports journalists will call the 11 Thursday Night Football games that Amazon is streaming, beginning with Thursday's matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings.

Amazon's all-women NFL broadcast team was the fourth option -- after the men

Amazon Prime Video touted Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer as the first all-female broadcast crew to call an NFL game, starting with this week's Thursday Night Football game. But people watching the Amazon Prime Video feed automatically heard the Fox Sports broadcasting voices of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Amazon users had to go down to the fourth option of "Storm-Kremer" to hear the groundbreaking all-female broadcast.

Amazon viewers are still complaining that the first female NFL broadcast team is "hidden"

The streaming service had to release a video explaining that to listen to Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm's Thursday Night Football broadcast, viewers have to select the last option under language settings. Still, as The Daily Beast notes, "viewers who tuned in to support Storm or Kremer–or who simply wanted a break from the all-male booth–were not happy." As Patriots fan Brian Bell put it, "It’s like they’re trying to have their cake and eat it too. They want to get all this credit for putting these two great female broadcasters together for the first time but … they make you jump through every hoop in the world to try to get it.”
