WHAT MAKES ESPN+ THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY GIFT?
Mostly the thousands of live sporting events, video on demand, original content, premium editorial, tools, and analytics, for only $4.99 a month. But it’s also that feeling of getting to relive the feeling of opening your presents over and over again, because ESPN+ truly is the gift that keeps on giving. When the holidays are over, and everyone else has returned to their drab, lifeless existences until the next holiday season, the shine already worn off their fancy presents and new toys, you’ll have a brand new gift waiting for you every day, like infinite Hanukkah, each time you open up ESPN+, because live sports are never the same thing twice, and you just unwrapped thousands of live sports: college basketball, college football, NHL, MLB, UFC,Team USA basketball, international soccer, rugby, cricket, boxing, auto racing, and more. Can’t even fit all those sports in one line,much less one box.
You might as well slap a ribbon and bow on your TV, phone, laptop, tablet, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, Xbox, PlayStation,and whatever fancy new device is all the rage this holiday season, and squeal with delight every time you turn it on, because sports is just what you always wanted, and you’re giving yourself that gift again 24 hours a day, since sports don’t stop, and even when they do kind of stop, like at odd hours of the night, when you’re supposed to be asleep, so Santa can come, but instead you’re reading ESPN The Mag with a flashlight under the covers, and wish you could watch sports, even then there’d still be an entire library of sports video on demand, like the Quest for the Stanley Cup,to distract you from that sinking feeling that Santa might just be mom, and your entire world is an illusion built upon a lie…or you could watch original content, like Always Late with Katie Nolan.
