DAZN's commitment to maintaining current sports rights

DAZN wanting BT to give long-term guarantees from BT to cover any potential customer cancellations - something BT refuses to do.

It seems all is not perfect in the world of streaming!
Sounds like this spending billions on sports rights thing is much harder than some on the forum continue to portray.
