With the UFC moving to ESPN+, it has me thinking alot about the future of sports and sports bars.
The best example I can provide is the Las Vegas Knights moving alot of their games to ESPN+. This means all around the strip, where games used to be shown, only sports center or highlights will be shown now. No sports bars or regular bars have smart TVs or rokus and if they do, arent going to be jumping from app to app to watch games.
This is a terrible oversight on ESPN and sports viewership in general. One of the best things about watching sports is going out and watching in a group. I understand it doesnt effect big sports like football YET, but it could very quickly. I dont see bars easily adapting to this new streaming format....
TLDR: Sports apps like ESPN and DAZN will kill sports bars.
What do you think sherbros?
