With the internet, you can please everyone.

Search, pay, click, watch whatever you want.

That's not true at all. There's literally no way for many Americans to find live or recorded events for free or to pay. NBC has blocked it off.

I am saying it is technologically possible. In the US, I simply do not watch sports as it all requires buying a subscription to an archaic and obviated cable/satellite TV service.

Once I can go to the sports league’s website and and pay directly for what I want to watch, I will start watching.

Just discovered I can in theory use Youtube TV. The offer being submitted is to sign up for a year. So I stand corrected.
