Only possible if you are fine missing an arbitrary 1/3 of live sports events.

Believe it or not, some people live fulfilling lives without viewing any sporting events.

You can live without watching whatever the latest show is.

I am fine missing all live sports events. I think many other people are as well.

I've started going to local sports bars, I almost said pub, to watch events that I'm interested in seeing. After working from home for 8+ years now, it's also a nice bit of social interaction as well. I used to pay for Peacock specifically to watch Premiere League, but stopped since the team I follow kept getting bumped to their USA partner and not streaming on Peacock. Their 10-15 minute extended highlights are still available without a subscription, and they are good in a pinch for things I missed. I've now parlayed that sub over to Paramount+ to follow Champions League this season.

I’m sure they will let you buy ESPN separately.

That’s a bonus.

My brother said that watching professional sport is watching other people live their dreams.

Don’t spend your time watching, spend your time making your own dreams come true.
