The leagues are trying to shut down illegal streams. Do you guys think this could be detrimental to free sports streaming? I really hope not.

I'd gladly pay for a reasonably priced service (probably no more than $20/mo, but even that is on the steep side) where I could watch whatever game I'd like with no blackouts. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist, so, here we arr.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind just paying a season-pack for the sport that I'm interested in. Picking & choosing the competitions I want to see, and maybe having the option to pay for 1-off games. This isn't possible though because networks/companies buy exclusive rights, so for one competition I need this subscription, for another I need this. It fucking sucks!
That being said, any recommendations on a good setup for live sports on a smart TV? In the past, I've streamed on a website on my laptop, and then plug in to my TV via HDMi. I've tried Kodi in the past but has been super unreliable for me for live-sports. Any other recommendations?
I can't help much on that front. If I'd like to watch on the TV, I do the same and just cast from a laptop or PC. There's IPTV, but it's a whole other rabbit hole that I'm not familiar with.
Exactly. I'm not going to pay a fuckload of money for multiple streaming services only to still not see my fucking team every week.
VPNs are a pretty solid way to dodge blackouts
