Your post makes me sad.I think if I watched televised sports, It would be much more difficult.
My brotherinlaw is an executive with one of the major networks. He is in charge of crafting the deals that allow this kind of content to get put on the internet.
We were talking about it last week. The technology is there. What isnt there is the revenue model.
Most tv shows have several parties who get a cut of the advertising money. Talent, production house, distribution group. Once the contract law catches up to the technology, we will see more and more shows being shown on the web. Sports shows, unfortunately because of the complex syndication deals will probably be the last to end up on the internet.

Oh well.
