MLS turned out to be visionary in abandoning RSNs.

MLS Season Pass has truly been an amazing thing.

It’s incredible being able to choose to have the local radio broadcast of the game along with it chef’s kiss

This is brilliant! I hope in future seasons you can choose home or away team radio broadcast so you can always listen to your local radio broadcast call the game. Still, a great feature to start with!

God I’d legit pay $300 a season for the exact same NBA coverage that the MLS plan has.

No blackouts. All teams all games, AND PLAYIFFS

Something completely obvious to any sports fan isn't visionary. I'm shocked the NBA hadn't done it. It was on their surveys 5 years ago.

The problem is the NBA got paided a fuckton the last time they sold the tv license. They are gonna work to repeat that again with the rights being up in the next couple of years.

It's crazy to say but maybe Apple or Amazon will swoop in and save us from blackouts. I canceled my League Pass last month because it's annoying that I can't watch my home team and I remembered that it's useless during the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure that MLS draws flies to its streams.

No one is watching MLS so, it didn't really matter for them did it? Viewership is basically zero and selling ads against it is zero. In 10 years the Apple deal may make sense, but thats a long time away
