The Premier League has its own TV company, they sell the rights around the worlld, it has their logo in the top corner. Yup I get that but they could cut out Sky if they wanted to.

Why would they want to cut out Sky, BT etc and the billions they pay them?

True. And the prices for sky and BT are daylight robbery. No they’re not. The price of actually being at a match definitely is.

I think the fact that players are paid vulgar amounts of money each week is the problem, that's where most of the money ends up. It's all about hype in the PL which gets the crowds into the grounds. This season I've watched lots of other European leagues, even a few 2nd/3rd tier games and without the fans, the football played is very often indistinguishable and empty stadiums have been a real leveller. It's been a real eye opener to see what is effectively a massive marketing machine in the UK creating the hype that the PL is the 'best' league in the world. It isn't at all. Sure it's got lots of money but that's about it and I've realised that the money is just squeezed from people who continue to believe that hype.

I don't watch any football on TV unless Palace is involved and assume that your £1 a game entails watching quite a few football matches. I pay Sky £140 per month for my package and if they won't show Palace games live then I'm quite happy to find a stream and watch that

When football returns to “normal” if your team is not featured and you can’t get a ticket or afford one, why should you not take any opportunity to watch them if one is available?
