Sport, in general, and football, in particular, is completely out of hand, Mick. The money, the egos, everything about it is way off the scale.
I cancelled Sky Sports two weeks ago, after I read a news report that Jack Grealish, a Manchester City player, had signed a contract to wear Puma football boots for the next twelve months. The payment for this? Ten million pounds  :o My missus will have spent about 45 years in education before she retires, making a difference for thousands of children. She will earn nothing like that over her entire working life.
Losing my £400 odd pounds a year won't make any difference, but it makes me feel better.

What has Sky Sports got to do with a £10 million contract between Puma and Jack Grealish?  ???

Aren't you punishing the wrong company?  ::)

Any one of my Grandsons would make a better job of it than those arrogant bastards.

I know exactly how you feel Steve, when you read about these ridiculous sums of money paid to  people who simply kick a ball about, it could be put to much better use but unfortunately that's the way of the world now sadly.

It's got everything to do with it. Sky sports pays the premiership millions (billions?) to show football on telly. That money, along with gate receipts, merchandising and sponsorship pays the wages of everyone from managers to groundskeepers. The level of wages is directly related to the level of sponsorship deals, Puma wouldn't offer £10 million to a player who was on 5 grand a week. They know the figure has to be enough to outbid everyone else, and enough for a player on a multi million pound wages contract to accept it.

That was only the straw that broke the camels back, I've been pissed off with the way the game is run for a while now. From the criminal behaviour of Sepp Blatter and his ilk, right down to the sulky behaviour of so called stars who can't get their own way.
I see Barca could be in the shit again, but will they be punished?

I take your point that football is completely corrupt from FIFA down and that Sky Sports are part of that with the huge amounts that they and other broadcasters spray around to secure the rights, but it's a tenuous link between them and Puma/Jack Grealish.  :-\

If you'd have said Right that's it I'm never buying a pair of Puma boots again! .....  ;D

I guess though, if you're paying a subscription to Sky Sports/BT Sport/Virgin Media etc you are part of the problem, so well done!  :y

Meanwhile, Kyle Walker is being investigate for waving his dick around in a bar full of Women.
If they arrest him, the current equivalent of Rumpole of the Bailey will be hired, at great expense,  to get him off.
Tbh, Sport is dead. Killed by money.

Just to let everyone know that I won't be watching MOTD not as a sign of solidarity though, simply because I never have & find the whole football circus a complete load of shite.

Tbh, Sport is dead. Killed by money.

I agree totally.

I'm sure a lot of you don't like cricket, but I was brought up loving the game (my dad was a keen cricketer). However, the moment Sky took over the Test rights and the BBC no longer showed it, my interest drained. I used to even follow the county game with some great matches on the BBC on Sunday afternoons. When I was a lad, we played on the greens with a chalked wicket on a wall. Now, few kids are interested. Money killed it, IMHO. :'(
