Yup, friend moved back to Puerto Rico after finishing his PhD and can no longer legally watch most cycling. I know there's a whole history of PR/US whatever-you-want-to-call-it, but it's honestly absurd to me that he can't pay for the same steaming package as me.

It's interesting to see how some sport leagues (from my limited understanding of MLB TV) have realized that they are all in this together. Others, like F1 also have that centralized content control, but still manage to drop the ball in parts. And then you have sports like cycling, with historical stakeholders desperately clinging to their slice of pie as everyone slowly sinks (monetarily).
