I’m not into sports myself, but I hear a lot of people complain about predatory subscriptions to professional sport streaming servicies, intrusive gambling ads, etc. Organize free internet streaming of old broadcasts right as they enter public domain (50 years after broadcast in UK) and pretend they are going live, do discussion, bar cheering, all the things sports people do to entertain themselves, for free.

    “now up to the plate we’ve got a rookie making his debut, Mr. Barry Bonds”

    Yeah, no. This doesn’t work.

    Isn’t the appeal of sports that it’s current, like those dudes did that last night and everyone who knows about it knows what happened so they can talk about it at the water cooler. I dunno I don’t watch sports and really don’t get it at all.

    Sounds great! What stadium should I go to to watch a public domain game played live? Is the beer cheaper? Can I shake the players’ hands afterwards? Where do we hold the parade when my local team wins?
