Once upon a time, sports fans wanted freedom of choice. Why pay for dozens — or perhaps hundreds — of television channels when all you wanted to do was to see your favorite teams play?
The cable era is in its sunset. Streaming is all the rage. No longer need you pay for channels that feature news, movies, cooking and gardening in order to watch the home team.
For sports fans, this has become an expensive mess, too.
The Dodgers require one subscription. The Lakers require another. The Angels, Kings and Clippers require another.
