For what it's worth I watched most of the Clasico yesterday, as usual the PQ was perfectly fine on my TV via Chromecast and the stream was completely solid with zero buffering
Again I hear people saying the stream was behind real time but again I'm not sure how I would be aware of that just from watching the game

Sky don’t reward failure.

It’s neither selfish or spiteful to hope failing ventures do just that. It distorts markets when new entrants with no business model throw money around, fail, and leave others to pick up the tab.
The people to genuinely feel sorry for are those who lose their jobs at the companies who have credible business models, or if/when Eleven fail those clubs who spent money on the basis of that income that is never realised.
It took EFL clubs years to recover from budgeting in good faith on the basis of ITV Digital income that never came to pass.
I have no reason to sympathise with their investors any more than a gambler who loses money at a roulette wheel. They have their eyes open.
