Streaming service works great for us, but mostly b/c I use my parent's login for sports.  Take that away and I lose access to:

ESPN

Fox Sports

NBC Sports

TNT/TBS

You can get all of those on Sling...

Cable and Internet is included in our rent, so I get every channel. but if it wasn’t included, I’d scrap that shit so fast.

10 yrs here, & agreed.

Streaming sites + bunny ears get me all the sports I need. Its funny, I'm willing to pay for streaming services of sports. Yet the streaming services are soo pathetic and crash that illegal streaming is a far superior product. EZ decision for me.

i jetted Direct TV after like 11 years for PS Vue, it's not ideal, but it's like $120/month cheaper. So I'm happy. I know it could be cheaper to do the sling or some other thing, but we are able to get everything we want through the PS4, which is a huge convenience for us.

Another vote for YETI.  I'm not saying they're not effective ... maybe even the best ... but the difference is negligible between than and Ozark Trail or Magellan, which are way cheaper.

Most name-brand electronics would fit into this camp, too, honestly.  Performance is based much more on some of the specs that virtually any manufacturer can put in a machine than it is on some proprietary secret that is exclusive to a particular brand.

Is there even still a pro/olympic sport that isn't rigged or full of PED's?  Bowling, maybe?
