If you're someone who doesn't watch sports, you also might think about how much a cable subscription subsidizes those who do. If sports franchises ever start moving off cable, the cable industry is in for a pretty rapid readjustment. I assume the sports franchises know and leverage this in their negotiations with cable companies. The whole LA Dodgers fiasco may be a leading edge indicator of a breakdown between franchises and cable operators. There have to be some conversations within sports teams wondering if they would make more money going direct to fans. On the other hand, it might make both sides more resolved to cooperate for a bit longer in negotiations.
