“We all know there’s too many direct-to-consumer products out there,” he said. He wonders if the growing number of options and rising costs for sports fans will have their tastes swinging back to traditional television. Shanks says that FOX views the streaming world as a crowded marketplace. Its deals with the Big Ten, FIFA, Major League Baseball, and the NFL would make its DTC platform a must-have for sports fans.

At Aaron Judge.”Ī popular criticism of ESPN has been that this kind of attention would not be paid to Aaron Judge if he was chasing a mark that wasn’t the home run record if he played anywhere other than New York. There was genuine fury at a watch party I was at. I haven’t seen a single home runs during one of these cut-ins. “He’s been God awful during these cut-ins.
“I think what hurts the whole thing is that Aaron Judge has been terrible during these cut-ins,” Ruiz said. Producer Mike Ryan Ruiz said the fact that Judge is yet to deliver is making the cut-ins more frustrating for fans. “In his defense, what are we cutting in for?
