Netflix has the luxury of compressing/encoding their stuff ahead of time whereas ESPN is compressing it basically in real-time. The former allows Netflix to use much more efficient codecs. It also hurts sports big-time that they are fast-moving. Compression is going to be much more noticeable when the camera has to pan quickly to follow a running player versus a show like House of Cards where the picture is typically much more stable.
