This is a good thing. The sports themselves don't go away. This just means that the cable sports business model is less viable. Maybe now MNF, the hallowed American institution, will go back to network and be viewable by the rest of us.

Agreed. I see this as the death of the "forced bundle." People who don't care about football are now finding that they don't have to pay for it. They're cutting the cable.

Others can still watch it, mostly OTA, but through some paid options as well.

So only the artificial inflation of revenue due to the forced bundle is going away.
