Disney's streaming business is nearly as big as Netflix, and it has a huge advantage in sports.

Netflix (NFLX -0.63%) has dominated streaming over the past decade, but it may not be well positioned for the next phase of the industry's growth -- sports. It's Disney (DIS -0.04%) that has the best sports assets for streaming, and it has a bundle that could overtake Netflix. In this video, Travis Hoium lays out the case for Disney's streaming dominance.
