Somehow i doubt they are making you watch anything.
I could not watch it, but I can't watch anything else.

Just cancel your cable subscription, and torrent everything, like everyone else.
Everything I watch is only worth watching if it's live. Except for Man v. Food and Family Guy and idk.

You can't watch it 30 mins after it airs?
Finally. Comcast took their cable **** out of my mouth and I can watch what I want.

And I can, but I don't see the point.

Why not...?
Do you only watch things like lolsports, or news or something?

idk. Watching sports after they happened just doesn't appeal to me.
Yes.

Watching sports at all is pretty silly.
nononononoono. Sports are great.

Football is really the only sport worth watching, but I agree that it's lame to watch them after the fact. Torrent everything else though.

What's so exciting about the arbitration deadline, anyway?
The arbitration deadline (I assume you mean the one today) is when free agents offered arbitration by their teams have to make a decision whether to accept or not. If they decline arbitration they will become free agents. If they accept, then they agree to a one-year contract at an undetermined salary and the arbitration process takes place to determine the salary.
It's important for Type A and Type B (see below) free agents because teams can get draft picks back if they decline arbitration and sign with another team. Because of this, teams often offer arbitration to players that they know are going to decline, like Jayson Werth, Carl Crawford, and Cliff Lee. Teams don't get picks back if they don't offer arbitration.
Type A free agents are the top 20% at their position according to the Elias Sports Bureau and teams that lose them get the team that signed them's first round pick(if they hae the 16-30, second round pick otherwise) and they get a sandwich pick (a pick between the first and second round).
Type B free agents are top 20%-40% (I think) and teams only get a sandwich pick.

Sounds boring as fuck.
It is boring, but it is important for some players. If they decline arbitration they are likely going to be out of a job next season because of their Type A status. Some Type A players (mostly pitchers) are not worth a first round pick so teams are hesitant to sign them.

Important for players, not for everyone else.
I guess. If you have a vested interest in a team offering arbitration to a player, then it could be important because it determines who's on that team.

I don't see why you would have any vested interest in a team.

I think Cablevision is a pretty cool guy, eh offers 10x better service than any other cable company, and doesn't afraid of anything.
The main news site for the Netherlands streams all Hockey and Speed Skating competitions live on their website so I don't need a TV 
Probably more sports too, but I only care about those two.
And on a side note, YAY IT'S FREEZING! Skating soon!

I know what the arbitration deadline is. I follow MLB pretty closely. It's still not very exciting. I mean, I'll check out what transactions are made but I don't think I would rage over not getting MLB Network for a few hours.
