I don't watch sports channels, but the more they get the better.

But the way VM have set out their model (i.e. trying to get everyone on XL so everyone gets everything bar Sports/Movies), they have to cater to the widest audience possible.
And removing a channel that will have a minuscule viewing figure % in comparison to other channels isn't going to upset enough people (or by keeping it entice enough people) to make it viable.
Choice with VM's TV is extremely limited. It has it's advantages (i.e. ESPN for free - which other platforms see as a premium channel). But this is one of the disadvantages - you will always be at the mercy of what VM consider the best deal for the majority.

Only if they are channels that a large % of customers will kick up a stink about if they can't view. Satellite has lots of channels that nobody watches in comparison to the "big ones". Doesn't mean VM should get them just for the sake of it if nobody is going to watch them. Someone will have to pay for their distribution on the VM network at some point. And that cost will get passed on in some way to me and you - something I can certainly do without
