I've had 4k TVs for what feels like a decade at this point and they still can't showcase a fricking football game in high res.

Yeah it's weird that almost everyone has a 4K TV at this point but nobody is broadcasting in 4K. There's almost no effort whatsoever

Maybe the internet providers can't handle the bandwidth? Idk

Its not a bandwidth issue that’s for sure. My best guess it’s because it cost more money.

That and you have to pay for a more premium package to be able to watch the handful of games even available in 4k. Don't really see the value in paying for something with little to no return.

The bandwidth doesn't exist to broadcast in 4k (I am talking cable and satellite TV, not internet). These providers would have to cut their channel line-ups to free up bandwidth.
