what's overlooked is this is bad for consumers who are sports fans, if Fox/CBS/ESPN/NBC cut back spending for sports rights and get less games, you will be at the mercy of the sports leagues online services to watch content who will have all the pricing power and will force you into season passes, this is naive to think it will just affect ESPN and not the other networks, content will be getting significantly more expensive in the future across sports/television shows


They won't have all the pricing power because sports will be competing with each other for viewership.
