[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 949328, member: 6459"] Even at $30/month some sort of direct to consumer FutureESPN isn't in "only for the wealthy" territory but I definitely think "going to the games" will continue to shift that way. Sports will have to compete with new stuff like video game streaming, but there's currently a weird economic reversal there: it's cheaper to *watch* gaming/esports streams on Twitch and stuff, even at a very high level as far as I can tell, but to *play* at a high level can get very expensive - fancy high-refresh-rate monitors, video cards, even keyboards, etc. You already see this in sports some. Baseball and hockey have considerably higher equipment/facility costs than soccer and basketball and even pick-up football, and so the best players in those sports tend to come from better-off families. So paying to watch the sports that are cheaper to play will still, I think, make a lot of sense for a lot of poorer people. [/QUOTE]
