Ah, that’s where you are coming from!
No, they would not absorb it, that would definitely not make commercial sense. They would put a separate charge on for the football, of course they would! But it might still be cheaper than Sky, who are focussed on drawing everyone to their channels.
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, as they say.

I agree, a season long package would help retain year long Prime subs - however the cost would outweigh the benefit, unless they charged extra for the football (this of course would defeat the object)

Why on Earth would they NOT charge extra for the footie?
