While this goes mainly to the British audience, I’m sure some in the US are annoyed with having to pay extra for sports packages that still may not get you everything you want.

Wow. I really don’t know what to say with this. I love me some Football manager but damn Sky Sports. So lazy. It probably would’ve been better if you hadn’t tried to explain what you’re doing analyzing real life with a video game. Even one as in depth as FM.

Premier League’s television marketing plan scores all over the world | Media | The Guardian

The Premier League man. Crazy money rolling in. Glad that the coverage has increased to such an extent in the US. I wish the Serie A etc got the same type of coverage too without us having to get sports packages to add BeIn Sports etc. Guess it’s worth it though if at least one league is more accessible.

 

Also. I don’t see what’s wrong with the Premier League ad. Obviously negative things occurred on and off the pitch during the history of the league, just as it has with any other, but the ad has nothing to do with “airbrushing reality.” It’s just an add about a football league selling itself as the best league in the world. Why bother to even write the few words that were written?

Random but important. What do you do to get yourself banned from a club when it comes to reporting though?

Well, that’s harsh. Seems like some perspective needed there but, again, I guess I can’t really say much as I haven’t watched the punditry. Guess it’s time to change that.
