Sports streaming is here. Will TV break?

Live news and sports were supposed to keep us in the cable bundle. But now, you’ve got Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, Lionel Messi on Apple TV, WWE Smackdown on Netflix, and Google’s YouTube TV as the fourth biggest TV provider in the country. Even traditional TV is giving in, with a new mega-sports app from Fox, Disney’s ESPN, and Warner Brothers Discovery. Live sports was the last holdout, and now it’s embracing the cord-cutters.
