Are they offering new services? Expanding infrastructure? Or just passing on a 40% increase so that their woke staff can get 21% cola on a few million salary?

plenty of sites online where you can stream without giving a single penny to Disney.

ESPN free since 2011.

Just cancelled my ESPN+ account. I'll re-up it if there is a UFC fight I want to watch, and the watch whichever game we get on ESPN+ this year, but not paying $10/month for something I don't really use. It was $4.99 not that long ago.

Not familiar with that logic, but theft of services is still theft in my book. Congrats on rationalization.

I think it's completely unrelated to this thread, but for any good it does there is widespread abuse as well. How does theft of services by ColaAg have a damn thing to do with welfare - it doesn't.

How much Aggie sports content do we lose access to if we don't have ESPN+?

Travis had a good point. Streaming services have value because the content is watched multiple times. Not so with sports content.

ESPN made a lot of money that they shouldn't have made because of their bundling deals on cable. Those days are ending and will not be made up with ESPN+. How many cable subscribers would have opted to not have ESPN of given a choice? Quite a lot.

It's not even ESPN as much as it's the sports themselves that I don't care about any more.

$10 is worth it for the content in my opinion but maybe not for everyone.

Cut it if you want to.

It's OK to agree with people on some things and not agree on all things.

Stealing is wrong. They offer a service for a price. If you want the service, pay the price. If you don't think the service is worth the price, don't consume it.

I certainly disagree with TxAGFan on most things, but the mental gymnastics being performed here would make a leftist blush. You won't turn gay just cause you agree with him on basic rule of law.

Not much Aggie sports is on ESPN+

Don't confuse ESPN+ with TV subscription ESPN. They are totally different.

If you really want to be confused, let me now explain SEC+

You're fine with me having to give up money I earned to pay others who didn't earn it. But not ok with cola pirating espn.

One is theft by government. One is theft by the individual. Which is worse?
