Agreed, this seems to conflate sports in general with the specific issues faced by sports-entertainment complex that is ESPN.
The dramatic increase in the valuation of sports is largely due to it being one of the few remaining forms of entertainment that can still reach people with advertisements. Most people watching games want to do it live, which means they cant block or skip through commercials like they would with an everyday TV show.
