Apple wants an all-or-nothing deal for sports — worldwide distribution, no blackouts, standardized pricing for everyone, the whole shabang. That’s why they currently have MLS, and why they do not have NFL Sunday Ticket. If the NBA is going to continue being greedy, cutting partial deals with multiple parties and countries for just a slice then they’re going to continue losing viewers. Only the NFL is powerful enough to get fans to seek out games wherever they are.

Ehh. I’d say any of the following could still fill an NFL stadium:

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Madonna, Britney Spears, Blackpink, The Weekend, Lizzo, reunion tours of NSYNC/Spice Girls/Backstreet Boys/U2/Guns n Roses/Metallica/Foo Fighters/One Direction, others I’m forgetting. But yes, most could not.
