Major Sports on Sky
« on: September 14, 2007, 07:58:02 AM »
I refuse to pay Sky for their Sports Channels ~ which is what my mother would have called cutting off my nose to spite my face. What happened to the promise that all major sports events would be protected by law and broadcast free via the BBC and ITV?
What constitutes a major sports event?
IMHO Anything involving a "National" Team should qualify.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Mr Wench is in agreement with you as I won't allow sky sports in the house due to his lack of control in the sport area. National team competition should be on free national tv. That includes the cricket.

We don't have Sky at all at all. If all it took was a phone call to get sky sports then Mr Wench wouldn't have the will power to not call them.
