It's a monumental effort to return in excess of £5bn over three years, indeed neither Sky or BT do this alone. Sky have built up a customer base and rights portfolio over 30 years. BT have status as an incumbent in telephony/broadband and used the rights to consolidate their positions in both markets.
The facts are the value of the rights fell last time out and Amazon made no meaningful bids in the first round of bidding. Unless someone can point out how the market will radically change between now and 2021 I see no reason to change my stance on this.
If the aim is to sell Prime and gain market share for their shopping website this could be far more easily be achieved with lower value sports rights, at lower risk and higher return on investment.

I probably know a lot more than you about the streaming undustry and i can assure you i know my facts and details.
I don't pluck stuff out of the air to try to make myself look clever, i do agree with some of what you have said especially regarding prime which brings me back to what i have said before "if and it's a very bif if Amazon do go for more football rights i think they would launch a pass at additional cost" there is a clue in there.
The market certainly isn't going to change majorly within the next 2 years i completely agree with you, however we would be foolish to underestimate the streaming giants such as Amazon, also i shall repeat what i have said before Facebook is one to watch i'm not going to go into further detail about that just yet.
