In a historic move toward slightly less cartoonish greed, Disney announced Friday it will pay a $50 million settlement after accusations that it strong-armed live TV streaming companies into offering ESPN at prices typically reserved for diamonds, caviar, and Super Bowl ads.

The lawsuit, filed by a coalition of streaming providers and four angry dads from Minnesota, alleged that Disney forced platforms like Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV to bundle ESPN into basic packages. According to court documents, streaming executives were regularly threatened with having their Mickey ears revoked if they ever thought about removing ESPN.

“We are committed to making live sports only moderately unaffordable for the American family,” said Disney’s VP of Bundle Domination, Karen Smiles, while thumbing through a binder labeled ‘Threats: Vol. 9.’ “Now, households may have as much as $3 extra per month to spend on Disney+ sequels.”

Industry analysts say the settlement could set a precedent. “It’s a huge win. Now you’ll only pay for ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Juvenile, and ESPN: The Return,” said tech consultant Brock Churnley. “But at least you won’t be forced to subscribe to ESPN Ocho unless you really want Lithuanian curling.”

Not everyone was pleased. “Without mandatory ESPN, I worry my husband will talk to me during dinner,” said Brooklyn resident Linda Flax. “I refuse to live in an unbundled world.”

Disney executives closed the press conference by reminding customers that, while bundling is now optional, their lawyers are available 24/7 to consult on any future disputes about the price of watching men in shorts chase balls.
