Re: Why is cable TV costly? SPORTS! SPORTS! SPORTS! & Disney said by Romney2012:Takeaway from today’s chart: Nothing has really changed — you’re still paying a lot for sports, and you’re paying a lot for ESPN.
That’s why Disney’s sports channel is the most valuable asset on your cable dial. And it’s also why you’ve been hearing increasing grumbling — from both customers and ESPN’s non-sports cable competitors — about ESPN’s drag on your cable bill. I really dig this news for two reasons.
• I'm an anti-ProSports snob.
• I don't own a TV, so no cable bill.
It cheers me up that people (who aren't me)
may realize they're negatively impacted by an industry that annoys me.
(elaboration: Pro-Sports are as meaningful to me - as stamp collecting is to most people.
Imagine you are surrounded by a monstrous national obsession with a multi-billion dollar philatelic industry. You are baffled at the amount of importance and resources people invest in it.
That's describes my relationship with professional sports.
However, I choose to not obsess and will usually shut up about it.)
