How a Pam Bondi fumble caused the Disney football shutdown
It’s been 11 days since Disney pulled ESPN and ABC from YouTube TV, preventing about 10 million households from watching their favorite college football teams and Monday Night Football. And it’s unclear when, if ever, Disney will allow YouTube TV subscribers to watch football again.

It has become increasingly clear to entertainment........
