Cord cutters used to have to make a decision between sports and cord cutting. Now it is easier than ever to be a cord cutter and still get access to all the sports you could ever want.
Since Sling TV came out, you can even get every ESPN channel and 25+ other channels for just $25 a month. (Or $20 if you just want ESPN and ESPN2.)
