  The point of live sports is not just a dofferent type of content. Sports is a year-round show, unlike the typical American weekly series which has 24 chapters at most. So people can unsubscribe for three months, because there's no off-season. Or at least in soccer. Actually, the best exsmple of this isn't sn actusl sport, but WWE. In addition, sports fans are willing to spend more money than other people. The most notably exampkes are boxing and mixed martial arts, where they pay for dozens of PPV events every year, no matter how weak the cards.

  In the United States, local taxes pay for local government, not for the federal government. Because of that, local government funding depends on how rich residents are. In other countries, local government are funded by the federal/national government (not viceversa as you suggest), which reduces inequalities.
