When they outbid ESPN or NBC for NFL games, then there will be a response. That isn't likely in my lifetime unless there is Middle Eastern oil money laying around to invest in an American cable TV channel because the profits are so high compared to other investments.
Another motivation might be to get the message-their message, whatever that might be-to the American public.
I say, bring it on! I feel I am educated enough to know when I am being propagandized, be it our Gov't, theirs, or yours*. Besides, there's the FF button, or Mute if the announcer or color guy starts spouting.
So, I welcome all comers who will bring sports or entertainment to us.
*Edit: Don't mean to imply that phrelin's gov't is different than mine, (other than county or city officials!)
