if I wanted to keep up on local sports teams
Was it always like this? I could have sworn when I was a child all local sports teams had their games on the local over the air broadcast. Now every year I go "I should watch hockey" only to find out I can pay $10+ a month to watch every other team play the regular season, but if I want to watch the home team or the playoffs I have to choose between two $100 a month TV packages from DirectTV or something called fubu so I can access the Regional Sports Network Root-NW
There was a period in the early 2000s I was paying for a pirated hockey streaming service that was just a bunch of guys streaming their local broadcast and it was infinitely more accessible.
