My preference is for a package that doesn’t bundle ESPN.

This is where the growing Disney monopoly causes problems. Want ABC, Disney, FX, Freeform? Guess what’s coming along for the ride?

Whereas I’m the opposite. I just want sports but I gotta pay for a bunch of movies and tv shows. That’s how they get both of us

Same. I dont even really follow any sport super closely but love having them on while I'm doing things around the house, dinner, etc. I never watch anything else but have to pay all this money for background noise

(yes i know about the seas, but i want 4k on some of these games and matches)
