Charlotte Henry of The Addition helps us make sense of Apple's aggressive moves into live sports, especially the recent 10-year agreement with Major League Soccer. Exactly how it will play out, who will be able to watch how many matches, and whether we might see tiers or channels on Apple TV+ are all part of the conversation. Has Apple been testing the arena of live sports before making bigger leaps, or is it all part of a normal growth and expansion curve?
