Fox Sports app doesn’t list YoutubeTV in their list of providers. Why is that?
USFL in 4K? Great. Now we’ll be able to read the seat numbers on the thousands of empty seats at its games.
Charlotte just got an MLS team about a month and a half ago. The first home game, they drew 75,000 fans. I haven’t heard anything about them since then. Even baseball games are drawing flies right now.
