For me with Flames, Blue Jays, Raptors, Golf and F1, I don't see a cable package as that cumbersome really.

I pay $104 on a two year contract. For that I get internet, HBO/crave, every sports channel I need, 4k for TSN and sportsnet, some movie channels and medium TV. Then I pay $17 Netflix and $8 prime (but I don't even count that cause I have that for free shipping) and apple for $8.

So to break it down

Cable package $104
Netlfix $17
Apple $8

Total $129

alternatively

same internet from cable package $70
HBO/crave $20
sportsnet go for Flames/blue jays raptors $30
netflix $17
apple $8
golf streaming $8
F1 streaming $4

Total cost $157

So although everyone is different, and absolutely cable is less valuable if you don't watch sports, I actually save money with a cable package and I get 4k sports and get the ease of flipping between sports games and TV.
