Is this the end of 'free' TV?

 First Thursday Night Football on Prime, then it was playoff games last year, now this year it is Christmas Day games on subscription channels, and NOW, since I am a gluten for Wrestling, and my favorite, "Monday Night Raw" is moving to Netflix, which I do not subscribe to.

How long before the Super Bowl, the World Series, and the Stanley Cup finals will all be on some sort of pay TV subscription channel?

Unless you are getting TV over the air via antenna (in other words, you don't have cable), you are already paying for TV.  It's just a matter of what TV you are willing to pay for.

Granted, but almost to a man, most people have some way of watching the regular cable channels. I should have said subscription channels, which cost extra just to view certain things.

I like sports and enjoy the games, but I have too many other interests too. Once any of these leagues make it too pricey, not convenient or easy for me, I'll just walk away. I won't be paying PPV money to watch the Super Bowl or World Series. I'll just concentrate more on the other things I enjoy in life.

We knew they would find a way to ruin it. I'm just surprised it took this long.
