I agree with this. My fear is the quality of the experience. The only sport I watch on streaming now is Thursday Night Football, and it is miserable. The bloated, obnoxious pregame show is presented on the same stream as the game, and it has as many or more ads as a broadcast NFL game. Fine controls on FF are extremely difficult, so one must either watch the ads (which I mostly refuse to do) or resign oneself to missing multiple plays after an ad. Soccer of course has fewer, or no, ads during okay, so maybe this won’t be so bad, and Netflix has a better interface.
