The experience watching sports on a streaming service is much better. You can see all games, you can make choices (commentary on/off) in how you see them. I watch a few different football (soccer) leagues, and by far the best experience is Ligue 1 on Amazon Prime. All the others it's a crapshoot if the broadcaster has chosen to broadcast the particular match I'm interested in, and in some cases the commentators are just painfully dumb and I'd love to be able to listen the game's noise without theirs.
The quality of Thursday night football on prime video was amazing this year. But like I said the problem isn't technical. I can't watch the games I want to watch on streaming services.
And for no technical reason, it's just monopolized broadcast rights to the games I want to watch.
