A risk Amazon did not take.

Who suggested that Amazon would not make an additional charge for football? It must be obvious to everyone that they would not pay for the footie rights and stream it free of extra charge for the good of their health.

You’re putting up another straw man. I pointed out that was the only insight offered by the member I responded to, that is all.
