To me, having to do more than I do now to watch sports equals added complexity. That seems pretty obvious.

It's funny to me to see so many people complaining on various message boards that "I subscribe to so-and-so app and this other app but I still can't see the game! What should I do???"

On one forum, when I said how dumb it would be for me to pay extra for Apple TV or Amazon TV or whatever it is just to watch MLS, which used to be shown on regular cable, some guy actually told me anybody could afford it, even if all they did was sell a pint of blood a month.
Meh. I like to think that at least some of what I say gets through to a few people and thus makes it worth the while. Besides, when I said "young folks", I did not necessarily or exclusively mean young adults. Teach your children well.
