    Football is the world's game... but all the money in the
    modern game is destroying it. It's all about the £ now,
    not the skill.

    Hockey is cool... plenty of goals, some fighting... and
    two breaks where you can go and make the tea.

    That could be next.

    I don't know enough about the financial side of it, but every
    business is about making money. The NHL like FIFA, UEFA, the
    NFL, MLB (etc.) is geared to maximising its profits. With
    football [soccer] I think it has gone beyond that to the
    stage where the large amounts of money is destroying the
    game. FIFA are more corrupt than the Mafia.

    As for the BBC ...

    The BBC are worse than the mafia! As they have a law in the UK
    that means everyone with a TV has to pay the BBC money each year
    regardless of whether they watch a BBC channel or not...

    In regards to sport, the BBC can barely afford to show the top
    sports live anymore as they squander a lot of their money on big
    name presenters and bureaucracy.


    Oof!

    Blueshirt, as you don't actually live on Britain (or even the U.K.!!),
    YOU don't actually pay the BBC money each year, do you??

    If you can follow the thread, Dave brought up the BBC and I
    replied... it's kind of how Usenet works.

    Whilst Dave throwing a tangent in to the discussion is usually
    how RADW works!
