I am intrigued, but also concerned that Amazon wants to control everything in our consumer lives... I joke with friends we're eventually going to wake up in our Amazon beds, jump in our Amazon cars, go to the Amazon grocery store (already partially true with their purchase of Whole Foods!) and go to Amazon Field to watch the Minnesota Amazons play baseball.

It's also something I'm concerned about but I don't know who else can or will modernize sports broadcasting.
