    They will sleep just fine in their mansions tonight.

    Exclusive broadcast rights will cease to be a thing when consumers stop participating and watching these broadcasts, but most are unwilling to cease consuming the content long enough to have an impact on the bottom line which is the only thing they care about.

      They’ve killed so much sport by shoving it behind a paywall.

      Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen any kids play cricket in the local park. Used to be rife, back in the day.

          Yep, I think it’s a matter of perspective. As an Australian I find cricket to be quite straightforward but I grew up watching and playing it.
