Live sports isn't going anywhere, it's a completely different beast than silently sitting in a dark theatre and not talking to anyone for two hours while drinking a $10 soda.

Sporting events are more like concerts. Seeing them live is a different experience.
And it's not like those who can afford super expensive season tickets aren't ever going to go to the games again anymore. There may be some who may be feeling the pinch a bit, so they may not renew, but still will purchase single game tickets here and there. But the majority will still return. And those who go to individual games, will continue to keep doing that.

Major sports leagues that have high interest are going to be fine on the other side of this. Stadiums and arenas will still get filled up fully.
