You guys do realize that when they say "cutting the cord" they are talking about getting rid of old school cable (Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T. etc.) but those people are just replacing that with streaming cable (YouTube TV, Hulu, Fubu, Sling, etc.)...
I think there has been a real misconception of what cutting the cord means. Networks that air sports we watch are still getting paid to have their programming carried. That's why even though cable subs are down nearly 40%, viewership of the money making sport (CFB) is UP 28% over the past 5 years.
