You still didn't explain how MS should broadcast the CL. Digital only on Xboxes? Taking it away from commercial television? More than selling Xboxes MS would get riots at his head quarters, with burning offices. I mean, they are the Hooligans we are talking about. Why the heck should one buy an Xbox to watch it?

digital only, exclusive on xboxone.   they have to go big or go home in europe. and this would be the biggest thing ever

Digital only? Taking it away from mamma television? In what parallel Universe? As I wrote there would be riots, especially in Italy given the crappy state of the Internet. Not to mention that Berlusconi and Murdock say "hi". Oh, also the EU Antitrust could have its saying (apart that in Italy "someone" would push to have a law forbidding "digital only" for football..). Other consideration: people subscribe first to the package showing their own team playing. In Italy Inter Milan and Milan are in Europa League this year (well, so I'm reading now. I don't really follow that football crap). Indeed Mediaset Premium, which has got the Champion League rights, Europa League is on Sky, may flop (as in losing money) just for that. Not happening.

Then, seriously. If MS to sell a video game console has to monopolize even football..They are better going home indeed.
