Amazon is at this point a money-printing cloud machine with a grocery store in the parking lot

"Possibly Pay TV should not have exclusives on live sport"

Which would make the very Pay TV business quite impossible (which anyway I believe that's your aim) - and would result in less popular events being not broadcasted at all, or broadcasted not live in the middle of the night (as it happened here with tennis - you were lucky if you could see at least the Wimbledon final)

Anyway, it would also mean to ask team and players to get a huge pay cut (no competition for TV rights, less income...) - not that I appreciate they are paid those absurd sums to perform an entertainment form that often is quite "stupid", but it looks the whole business in now based on huge expenses, and fans like it...

And there's no constitutional right to free football or whatever.
