A First Look at ESPN’s New Streaming App | Tony Hawk: Skateboarding Is ‘Hotter Than Ever’

We are just a day away from ESPN’s new highly anticipated $29.99 a month direct-to-consumer streaming service, which ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro calls “industry shaping.” FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher got a first look at the new service and breaks down all the features, including a TikTok-style vertical video experience called Verts, as well as a personalized daily version of SportsCenter, tailored to each user’s favorite teams and leagues. Meanwhile, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk tells Baker Machado and Renee Washington that skateboarding hasn’t lost its coolness factor after all these years, saying it’s “hotter than ever." Plus, we look at the data behind the women's sports boom, Anthony Richardson’s future with the Colts, and whether MLB’s Home Run Derby could find a future home on Netflix.
