Need to read the article. It is an option. ESPN is still available on cable.

You only get 12 channels for $20..which is basically a Disney & Time Warner Cable Channel line-up (i.e. no broadcast channels):
Disney ABC Family
Disney Channel
Scripps Network Food Network
HGTV
Travel Channel
ESPN
ESPN2
TNT
TBS
Adult Swim
Cartoon Network
CNN
That's it.
Then Sling will try and see $5 upgraded segmet options...so most will spend a lot more than $20 to have access to their favorite channels.

Heading a bit misleading true, but I think it is the beginning of the end of cable and Espn relying on it so heavily for viewers.

Yeah but with this, Hulu and/or Netlfix what else do you really need? Unless you're the type of person that has to watch everything the minute it's out / new you don't need more really. Besides, how many of those cable channels could you actually watch at once? If this gets you access to watch ESPN the games get archived too.

If this somehow leads to the beginning of something that hurts espn in anyway, I'm for it.

Out of the Top 50 shows in 2013-2014...only one (ESPN MNF) was in that Top 50 (#15 overall).
By the time some (not all), add extra packages from Sling, Hulu, Netflix, etc...you could almost be right back from where you started with cable/sat but without the hardware (i.e. HD DVR)

You still need ESPN U, News, 3, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports. More than 50% of AAC football and bball is not on ESPN or ESPN 2. Fox Sports has the Reds 162 baseball games.
