Note:
(a) "Yet the sports channel's subscribers have dropped from 100 million in 2011 to 89 million today. So ESPN raised prices, from $4.69 per sub[scriber] a month to $7.21 today"
(b) The last paragraph mentions a kangaroo in an old cartoon. Well I search the quotation and only this opinion piece shows up. And I fail to find an old cartoon with a kangaroo. Perhaps the writer makes it up.
