Been noticing a trend lately...

The media is slowly moving big soccer games to premium channels so people would have to pay extra on top what they already pay. CBS Gold, ESPN Plus and etc.  They show game like Leicester and Crystal palace prime time on FOX but United vs. Liverpool on CBS Sport?  The last 3 Arsenal games were not even shown on TV.  Uverse broke contract with BEIN sport which is mostly soccer including all French League 1 games.

I’m actually dumping Uverse because they went from best soccer provider to one of the worst.

Any idea why is this movement happening?  Not sure if related to US sports ratings and revenues going down and interest in EPL here in US is sky rocketing.

I think it's honestly more sport related than just soccer related. I'd say cord cutters and sports fans overlap.

UFC is now for the most part fully on ESPN+, some NHL games are now on ESPN+, Mid-Major college basketball games and baseball games are on ESPN+.

I feel like these companies are banking on sports fans being savvy enough to cancel generic cable and pay for the CBS sports package, Fox sports package, or ESPN+ since in reality all they watch on tv is sports.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
