We glued together content moderation to stop soccer pirates
Sigh... f*ck sports leagues&#x2F;governing bodies. The reason some honest people pirate streams for sporting events is because they make it so annoying to pay for them. Some examples...<p>I live in the US.<p>I briefly took an interest in the EPL. If I wanted to watch all EPL games (or have the option of watching any particular EPL game), I&#x27;d have to subscribe to Peacock _and_ Fubo -- and I&#x27;m still not sure that gets me all games.<p>I briefly took an interest in the NHL (this was years ago, granted -- things may have changed). If I would have subscribed to their service, the ONLY team whose home games I couldn&#x27;t watch would have been the TEAM OF THE CITY I LIVE IN (i.e.: &quot;my&quot; team).<p>My two favorite sports, though, are Cycling and F1.<p>I LOVE cycling. To watch every UCI race, I&#x27;d have to subscribe to GCN+ (they have the Giro), Peacock (they have the Tour de France and La Vuelta), and Flobikes (they have most of the Classics races).<p>THE ONLY sports governing body that has figured this out (for sports I like, anyway), is F1. I pay F1.com $80 a year and get MORE content than I would if I watched the races on ESPN. I can see EVERY RACE, EVERY QUALIFYING, EVERY PRACTICE. I can even choose WHOSE car I want to see the first person view from.<p>If you want to &quot;stop pirates&quot;, make it easy for them to give you money and watch their favorite sport.
