Let me throw a scenario at you....
In ten years time Amazon has all the tv/streaming rights to not only the majority of the games of the Premier League but also the Italian, French, German, American NFL, NBA and baseball matches too.
Do you really think if these games are streamed live, that sports fans will not watch these games via Amazon's service?
A tv channel is only a means of watching tv shows, sports, news etc. It's not the sport, drama, news itself only a means to "deliver" it.
What would Netflix's (rather shaky) subscriber numbers look like today if they had global rights to new episodes of Game of Thrones?
