If you haven’t noticed, television is struggling. The formerly exclusive ownership of the eyes of children and young people has slowly widened from just three TV networks to a couple hundred Cable TV channels to now the wide-open ocean of online content.
Whether it’s streaming channels, like Hulu and Netflix, or online content, like YouTube and Facebook, eyes have more entertainment viewing options than any time in world history.
The world of sports has also been hard-hit by the fickle tastes of Millennials looking for instant gratification, as evidenced by NFL viewership dropping considerably and ESPN laying off over 350 employees late in 2015.
