Well again I would imagine that most people watching local affiliates are already on streaming. It’s not like these games were playing on local ABC/Fox affiliates. “Local” is being overstated a bit here.
Correct and I would wager that people watching there are not terribly adverse to streaming. In some cases it may allow them to drop cable entirely. It could even bring some viewers in. In Atlanta a segment of the fan base doesn’t have cable and can’t view games locally without using someone’s subscription and they may already have Apple TV. Not saying that’s the case across the board but also don’t think it’s as easy as saying no local affiliates is a this massive viewership barrier.
You were flying high until the end. Most of the owners don’t have that ambition.
I mean let’s be reality MLS has been around for 25 years. This great watershed of support wasn’t going to come from the overall US population. Think they are going to convert pure casual ain’t wise. They know that.I mean on a international level this could be big since most of the world is Footies, but the States
Why would euros wanna watch an inferior product to what they already have?I mean on a international level this could be big since most of the world is Footies, but the States
They are trash……
. No different from me watching Minor League baseball when MLB is a superior product. Its all in the thrill of the game and not so much the skill and etc. Plus, you can't go wrong with the theatrics of MLS
That account I posted is a convert. He became a little put off by where big money soccer is going and wanted something with a more even playing field. I’m not saying you are going to find a billion people like that but when you make it accessible globally then it adds up.
