So there you have it. You must not want to watch it too much. A perfectly good answer.
There are not enough expected marginal benefits to spend $4.95 on it, true. I could better spend that money elsewhere. Almost anywhere would get me greater utility. Based on previous coverage (that was free) it will be full of ads, have a couple of idiots talking at me who know less than nothing about the sport, will cut out partway through, will show the women too much, will show the masses too much, will show the finish of the wheelchair races over a major mens race development, etc etc etc.
Or maybe I don't have a way to pay for it.
Either way, not gonna happen.
