I agree sports costs are getting ridiculous and whilst the premier league benefits the consumer loses out with ever increasing costs.

The problem for pay tv platforms now is that they are having to offer substantial discounts to retain customers , BT and Sky generally have more scope with discount being that they own the rights to the sports content. Its been reported many times on here that VM make very little on the Sports channels so when they are forced to offer discounts it doesn't give them as much headroom.
