I agree most people watch sport live on linear channels.
I am certain those who watch at a later date or time-shifted want to watch the whole match not a few minutes highlights as supplied on catch-up - this requires recording and means linear.
I sometimes watch a live game on the extra channels - it is a bit like going to the game, no pause for a comfort break/getting a new beer, no replays.
Basically, the overall experience is not as good as what people are used to.
