I don't know much about the Utah University incident but I'm guessing it's fall out from that.

I still don't understand the logic behind paid subscriptions for streaming sports.
Surely the broadcaster wants the biggest audience it can so they advertisers are happy - like when they fork out a gazillion dollars for 30 seconds at the Super Bowl.

All I use DAZN for is WTA Tennis because they cover all the WTA 250s and higher and it's FREE!
I know. Something in sports broadcasting that's free - hard to believe these days. :)

TVNZ+ 3 games a week for free (plus specials like the Melbourne game).
We have Disney+at home already and it comes with the full version of ESPN - which has all 2 Sunday matches and all Prime TIme NFL games & playoffs, including today's and all of NBC's SNF matches. Also includes RedZone - yay!

My UK based brother was complaining that the SF vs LAR game is on Netflix.
The guys on The Puntcast in the US were doing the same thing this morning.
But in NZ it's free on TVNZ+ and Duke. Yay!

@npub17pe…ttm0 We get Miami vs SF next week. Lucky us. 😜

The guys on VSiN just said that the US Patent Office has ruled that Las Vegas Athletics and Vegas Athletics is too descriptive, i e. I think the word 'Athletics' has a very broad definition, especially, I'm guessing, with the Olympics turning up in that neck of the woods in 2 years.
