The world is changing quickly and I don't think people understand the changes.  There are 200 million Amazon Prime members globally with ~150 million Prime members in the US.  With Prime, you get Prime Video for free.  There are approximately 124 million TV households in the US, so Prime Video already has the ability to reach at least the same number of TV households in the US.

Prime Video showed 15 NFL Thursday Night football games (with commercials) last year and the average viewership was ~10 million.  And, the median age of the viewers was the lowest for the NFL since 2013.  I would call Prime Video's first NFL season a success.

ESPN currently has about 74 million subscribers versus a peak of 100 million and the decline continues at ~1 million subscribers per Q.  That is why ESPN has pushed ESPN+ to try to stabilize the subscriber base and it is why ESPN is trying to partner with sports leagues to stabilize their content.  And, yes, all games streamed on ESPN+ and Amazon include commercials.
