I'm not sure about that. The Serie A (Italian football/soccer) also puts same-hour highlights on YouTube within hours, but people still use illegal streaming all the time. You lose a lot by not following a sport in real time, especially if such sport is part of your social environment, and likewise you lose a lot if you just see highlights. For an example of a perfect digital play, I think the America's Cup would be it: live streaming, analysis, interviews, replays, highlights. It competes directly with tv streaming, but it can do that because it has a much smaller following.
