What makes one a “qualified” customer?

While I get ATV+ as part of my TMobile, I have no interest in MLS.
Still would like to understand the “qualification” criteria
 
Neat, but man I wish Apple would give us news about adding more stuff to the TV App besides just TV+ and MLS content. I want more Apple TV Channels akin to Amazon Prime Video Channels' lineup! Where's Apple in that race? Amazon's got Max with live sports and CNN feeds, PBS channels all with live feeds, crunchyroll, NBA League Pass, and countless others. Severence and MLS are great but that's all apple seems to care about in the TV space.

Yeah I wish they'd add more Channels but I feel like they've given up on it. They've even kind of hidden it in the app, it's all jumbled together in "Channels & Apps" and you can no longer tell which is which.

Apple offers soccer to those who don't care and there's no football for those that do care.

Oh well, there is still Severance after the CL matches today.

Football is done. All that's really left for the season is the superbowl and there is already a channel that paid a bunch of money to air it. Also, I'm sure there are plenty of people who care about soccer. It is the most popular sport in the world. Not my cup of tea, but that is the truth. As for NFL games, there is a lot of competition for streaming and airing rights. Not sure Apple wants any of that mess, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Perhaps I should have thrown one more hint? Or is it because English isn't my native language?
