they've never really been a content company you changed my perspective with this comment.youre so right. essentially everything espn creates to fill time between live events is garbage. only issue for leagues distributing content themselves is local/regional tv contracts are a huge source of revenue for most teams. Tv is still the path of least resistance to consuming content. local deals might not be as lucrative if not on Tv. customers in a given region might not be 'stumbling' onto a local game to watch as often if the game isnt on a tv channel
