Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
The reason Sky & BT, imo, pay so much for the rights to football, whether it's the EPL or CL, is down to the fact that players are paid obscene amounts of money, if the clubs didn't get the income from the TV companies via the football associations, then they would only be able to offer players a reasonable salary to play football, it's ridiculous that some of them are on £150k per week plus! Reducing the amount paid to players would have the effect of the TV companies having to pay a reasonable amount to show these games live, this would have the knock on effect of reducing bills to people who want to pay to watch live football.
