There will always be an element of perveived subsidy for different genres as of course everybody has different tastes.
The point was raised though as ESPN is actually a premium channel, not a basic sports channel like Eurosport or even Eurosport HD so it is obviously expensive to provide. We know how expensive Barclays Premier League costs to provide to pay the monkeys millions who play it!
It must certainly be more expensive than Sky Arts but I know where you are coming from.
