[Salopbaggie]

Let me be clear I don't like the way Sky has taken control over our national game either, but to play devils advocate, blaming Sky for the demise of football, is like blaming online shopping for the demise of the high street shops. No one made anyone take out a Sky Sports subscription, anymore than they made people shop on Amazon and the likes. Also the Premier League/F.A must take a some of the blame, they are the ones who sell the rights (to the highest bidder) and they are the ones who refuse to allow 3.00 p.m games to be televised, meaning more games are moved away from that timeslot, even though I think many would be anyway to fill scheduling times.

Sky offered a service and people paid for it. Just like Amazon offered products on line and people purchased from them, rather than traveling to the high street to buy their items. The results of both are plain to see and anticipate, but that is what the people chose. In case you are wondering, not me I might add, I don't have Sky Sports.
