Delicately put, pfr...😂

The loss of sport has been tragic, but were the Beeb still paying for it the licence fee would be a lot higher and lots of footie-haters would go ballistic. Capitalism has dictated that sport is very big money. As I said, I pay almost as much as the licence fee to watch thirty or forty matches a year on my iPhone. I'm given that choice, take it or leave it. Can't blame the Beeb really. You can't have half of a bloated licence fee going on sport. Sky and BT will extract whatever football fans are prepared to pay, and in turn the big clubs get silly money... But enough of us are prepared to cough up, and that's the world we live in, and those two companies are selling a very targeted product. The Beeb has to cover everything and no-one is ever going to be completely happy. But long live the Beeb!
