Magoosmc, I played with that angle, too... Then I thought about the action shots at the Chicago Bulls and the night and cloudy Chicago White Sox games. The 6D would help with the lighting issue, but wouldn't do anything for the fast paced action.
As I shoot sports, here are the thoughts I have on the 5D4.
1) It focuses in low light just as well as the 1DX2. The 6D, 5D4, 80D, 7D2, and the 1DX2 can lock focus in very low light.
2) The 5D4 boasts more resolution, and for sports that is very good for cropping. The 5D4 is now officially the FF replacement for the 1D4 (according to me 
), which was one of the best sporting cameras of the past.
3) When you shoot high ISO with the 1DX2 and 5D4, but then have to equalize the pixel density by either resizing one up, or the other down, the end results are so similar that in a final result, you won't be able to tell which is which.
4) The 5D4 AF is wonderful and works well for sports and BIF, etc.
5) The fully working touch screen is a dream and it speeds up so many things, like getting through menus, image review, etc.
6) The 5D4 lacks in burst speeds though, at 7fps, it would be nice to have more during sports.
7) The battery life isn't as good as the LP-E4 series on the 1D, so again during sports shooting, keep an extra battery in your pocket.
Wifi is another little perk and if you like to share photos quickly on social media during an event, it works very well. However, that is a very small factor and doesn't play into decisions much for many.
Even though the 1DX2 has better AF overall (due to how hard it pushes that AF system) and higher burst speeds, I find it hard to consider that 2x price tag worth it in the end. I would love to hear from others as to why an enthusiast should spend $3000 more for the 1DX2 over the 5D4? 
For a working photographer making it their career to be prepared for any situation, I could see that $3000 as being an insurance policy, but for the person just wanting to shoot some games, family events, and life around them from time to time, surely there is a better use for that $3000, like perhaps more glass? We always say glass above body here on POTN don't we? How about some good lighting equipment too? Or a vacation using that 5D4 to capture the moments?
Having the 7D2 coupled with the 5D4 is awesome, they are so similar in function, which means I can pull either out and know exactly how to set it and use it. As both are now Wifi (using the W-E1 on the 7D2), I can shoot remotely with my phone and download pics and send them out. They complement each other very, very well, and where one cannot quite get the reach on something, the other can. Plus I can use some very good EFS glass on the 7D2. As an enthusiast, having 2 options with different glass options is a nice perk.
Here is a sample ISO 25600 out of camera JPG, small crop, with just a quick once-over with NR and sharpening from the 5D4. I would show you pics of Benny, but now that the Pacers have bought up this franchise that I shoot, Chicago marketing material like Benny isn't allowed here for 1/2 time shows.
