As I’ve said many times before, streaming is the next great frontier for sporting events. Sites like Amazon Prime and Netflix are flush with cash, and they can 100% compete with the traditional outlets for sporting rights.
“Thursday Night Football” moving to Prime is a sign that things are 100% changing, and they’re not going to stop changing.

Personally, I’m all in on streaming jumping more and more into sporting events. I’m all for it. We all already have these apps. There’s no reason they can’t show sports.
Embrace the change in this specific situation!
