Outside the US, expats (or anyone, I just mostly know expats who use it) who follow US sports can subscribe to streaming packages that are far superior to watching it over broadcast.

I think you can even switch between different commentators as well as a few other options.

As for myself, I'm sure plenty of money from my local taxes, once I move back to the US, will go to subsidizing pro sports teams. I don't particularly feel like doing so with a cable subscription as well.
