Within hours of the footage being posted, it seemed like everyone on the internet had an opinion to share. Some streamers, including Cheesur and Schnaggyhose, initially refused to believe their eyes while displaying some of the footage on their channels. Due to the nature of the footage, debates also broke out concerning Sketch’s sexuality. Some commenters on X (formerly known as Twitter) began immediately making X-rated memes out of the footage, ridiculing both Sketch and the unfolding controversy. Others vowed to stop watching Sketch after learning he’d tried to cover up this part of his past, with BruceDropEmOff remarking, “You got kids that watch you, my little brother watch you, bro. And I’m not allowing him to watch you no more.” Rumors also quickly spread that the NFL was planning to distance itself from Sketch and refuse future partnership opportunities, but it seems these rumors sprang from fake screenshots shared on social media.

In light of these negative reactions, some feared that the internet would only become a more hostile environment for Sketch. YouTube creator McNasty posted, “Lowkey feel bad for sketch. He’s popular in the sports community, which is dominated by toxic masculinity and they are NEVER gonna let him live this down. Bro is about to lose his career for being gay.” This idea didn’t sit right with a number of content creators in the industry, including some of Sketch’s closest pals in the business.
