Well if people accepted the status quo through the ages, we'd still be living in caves.

I don't really care if platforms have their own exclusive channels, as long as the content itself is not exclusive.

Since when has 'what the rest of the world does' ever bothered the UK anyway? The rest of the EU has the Euro. We don't.

It's exactly the same argument as I am making, DaMac. Sport is not an exceptional issue.
