The fair sports Access act

[Drewski (Andrew boose)]

The current landscape of sports streaming requires fans to subscribe to multiple services just to follow a single league or team, creating an inaccessible and fragmented viewing experience. This practice undermines fair access and ultimately excludes many fans from consistent, affordable access to the sports they love. Enacting legislation to streamline sports broadcasting rights into single-platform options would not only benefit consumers by reducing financial burdens but would also support the integrity of sports viewership by fostering a more unified fan experience. By addressing this monopolization of streaming rights, legislators can ensure that sports remain accessible to a wider audience, upholding the cultural and communal value of these events.In the United States, the fragmentation of sports streaming rights requires fans to juggle multiple costly subscriptions just to follow one league or team, creating financial and logistical barriers. In contrast, Europe has embraced a more centralized approach, often allowing fans to watch entire leagues or competitions on a single, affordable platform. This accessibility ensures that sports remain a unifying cultural force, rather than a luxury reserved for those who can afford multiple subscriptions. By adopting a similar model here, U.S. legislation could reduce financial strain on consumers, create fairer access, and help reclaim the communal value of sports. Standardizing access would not only benefit fans but also foster a stronger, more inclusive sports community
