There are various ways this could work. You just need to think about it rather than employ that knee-jerk reaction of yours.
There's various ways this could work but none that Amazon (or any other streamer for that matter) felt incentivised enough to pay £5bn, or more, in order to test out. I fail to see why you consider this point as somewhat irrelevant.

What's the point in a football only option without Prime? and if it did exist will it cost more than the Now TV pass - if so there will be less demand for it. So there will be no 'new' customers to Amazon's football service it'll entirely be a subset of those that Sky presently monetise.
