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.

How so? They are companies that offered a service, where another company came and offered a different/better one. How is that not applicable to streaming sports content?

ETA: Let me ask you a simple question. 10 years from now do you honestly think that the only option for watching sports will be through cable TV?
