With all this streaming hawt talk thought I would ax if anyone here has ever watched a sporting event through a streaming service at a bar with @MikeDamone
Or not with @MikeDamone
I personally cannot ever recall seeing such a thing with 1 specific exception. Bars have various sports packages from their TV provider and that's what you get. Nothing streamed unless it is a super special event like a high-school football championship game in southern VA which is only available that way, and that's like a Friday afternoon or something.
The 1 exception is in my cuntry club bar they put in a bunch of new TVs during Covid, but none of them were smart TVs. Except 1. All the main TVs hooked up to Comcast, with a sports package (B1G network, Tennis Channel of course, Red Zone). One single TV, the smallest one in there and mounted in a weird location, was accidentally a smart TV. We've connected it to the Wifi and put in one of our own Prime accounts so that Thursday night NFL could at least be shown somewhere in the damn place. It's ridiculous, and laughable, but it is on in the corner on the small TV, and the patrons are the ones who do the work to turn it on.
Part of the fun of CFB is going out somewhere and having like 10 games on at once that you can watch simultaneously. But it's pretty hard to watch if the bar doesn't have the service, and I've never encountered streaming. Am I the exception or are we even more fucked?

I've also never watched apple TV and probably wouldn't have even heard about it if not for following this shit show.
And if the bar has Xfinity, they are streaming it now anyway based on how they work now.
I have apps for entertainment. I have Prime but I didn't even watch TNF
Or college football.
I have apps and I stream. I stream DTV where the SEC and B1G are easily found with major networks production values
College football may indeed die. The Pac did
The big boys are making more money than ever. Not on fucking apps
It's not any more innovative than the Pac 12 network was
But I do think that muffled sound -- still a ways out -- could very well be a death rattle for college football.
The NFL will live. This is college balls last shot and it's not a coincidence that it's heavy on the south where pro football was late to the party
The B1G is three teams. And I see empty seats at those stadiums
