I don't watch much TV outside of sports. I'm upset that ESPN now wants extra money to watch less popular sports like rugby and Canadian football.

American TV does this with even just regular soccer. Why don't Americans like soccer? Because they can't watch it without an absurdly expensive cable package plus an extra soccer add on. 😥 You CAN watch it on Telemundo, but not American teams, and my Spanish is NOT good enough to keep up with that announcer, lol.
You don't need to know much Spanish. Most of the time they talk about irrelevant things like the score from a USSR-Yugoslavia game. The main words are: "gol", "golazo" (great goal), "esquina" or "corner", "falta" (foul), "mediocampo" (midfielder). I have to watch a game to refresh my memory. I'm sure you can find glossaries on the internet.
Telemundo also shows the occasional international match, including this year's World Cup.
I remember having to watch the World Cup in Spanish because the English-language feeds were awful, cutting to ads and showing a whole-screen graphic after a kickoff.
