Football fans have shown very clearly that they are prepared to pay a lot for football. Why would they not switch en masse if their usual provider lost the rights?
As for the problem facing the fans of other sports as well are concerned, I don’t disagree, but of course Sky would charge less for what remained, wouldn’t they?

I doubt they would - they have lists rights to sports in the past few years (premiership rugby union, la liga football to name but 2) but the normal cost to the customer has never gone down.
