How did (insert any new thriving company) put (insert any competing out of business company) out of business?

I'm not saying anyone is gonna put ESPN out of business, but if they don't provide what the market wants, someone will and people will look elsewhere.


You're wrong man. ESPN and the Sports Leagues will never allow ESPN to not make that much money no matter what the changes in the market. This is different than all those other ones you mentioned.

You are a lost cause if you cannot fathom a situation where ESPN could be overtaken much less start earning less profit than they currently do.

All it takes is innovation that tweaks this model enough to open the flood gates. There is a lot of demand to cut the cord as soon as viable options are available. Aereo was going to be formiddable until the Supreme Court struck them down - and that is just the beginning.
