    The reason sports and ESPN are such valuable commoditis is because the value of a sports game expires immediately when the game is over. That means they can charge what they want because they control the feed.

    Imagine a world where people were just as happy to watch an old sportsball game as they are to watch an old episode of Mad Men. ESPN would be nothing.
