Yay. Sounds like I'll have one or two new items to add to the already long list of reasons to cancel:

If any of my fees will be going to pay for sporting event streaming licenses.
If it's not easy to block this content in the already bad browse and search views.

I don't mind if they carry documentaries about truly notable sporting events or participants but having live sporting events on that platform is just dumb.

Is golf even a sport? Looks like exercise at best to me, and that's only if you're playing without a cart.
