Your points are what they are, but I have to say that I find major sports to be the about the least empathetic target you could have chosen. Even college sports in the US are awash in money and we somehow end up using public money to build stadiums for teams of deca-millionaires owned by billionaires.
I get that there are plenty of working stiffs who put it all together, but I think they'd be better off asking the bosses for more of a share than admonishing the anonymous masses who just want to watch a game once in awhile.

Ultimately as a platform we're trying to charge as little as possible to capture the largest audience, there's no exclusivity we're driving. Personally, I'd love if it leagues allowed multiple platforms to carry the same right in the same country, so we could compete entirely based on customer service and service quality. But they love to drive up the bidding war because it gets them more money. Don't hate the player, hate the game. I'm not aiming to attack anyone for doing it, more asking people to understand that there are consequences to piracy more than they expect.
