[QUOTE="hiphopfroggy, post: 3160950, member: 73090"] [HEADING=2]Is Apple TV's soccer deal a first step in changing how we watch (and pay for) sports?[/HEADING] You can see good and bad in the deal with Major League Soccer — and a lot that we simply don't know yet. There are certainly some things to watch out for, however. Tuesday's announcement of a 10-year deal between Apple TV and Major League Soccer — worth at least $2.5 billion, per reports — felt historic on a number of levels. [URL='https://www.startribune.com/apple-mls-announce-10-year-streaming-partnership/600182009/?refresh=true']Set to start next year and run through 2032[/URL], the agreement will make every MLS game available through the Apple TV app, with no blackout restrictions, for a yet-to-be-announced fee. We've seen leagues dabble in sub-packages of games on streaming devices — Amazon streams Thursday NFL games and Apple TV has some MLB rights, for example — this MLS deal is the first to take a major sport and move it entirely onto a streaming platform.
