What is difficult for you to understand?
I ain't paying the Premier league a penny
The BBC through the licence fee give the Premier league money to show match of the day but my licence fee pays for the BBC, not a monthly clout

You add to the BBC viewing figures. More views means more money for the PL as they can negotiate better deals with the BBC and their sponsors.
On YouTube the channels hosting the highlights, be it the individual clubs or the PL itself, gain revenue from ads, views and engagement. Even negative engagement such as a dislike or angry “he dived, never a pen! Modern football is corrupt!” comments generate income. The more engagement on a video, the more people it gets recommended too and the higher up it appears in searches.

Well that's stretching it beyond the realms
If I am in the doctors surgery waiting room and there is a copy of The Sun on the table I read a few pages of the right wing nonsense but I ain't paying for the crap
Comprendre?
It isn't my fault that the Premier league has everyone by the bollocks but its perfectly possible to criticise the rotten tossers without taking out a 50 quid a month to watch the clown show

The Sun lying on the table has already been paid for. The company gets the same amount of money if 1 person reads it or 100.
You add to the Premier League’s revenue. Probably quite a lot since you’re such a loyal customer :hehe:

Sky subscribers could offer the same argument. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it called Sky Sports? Or is there a Sky Premier League only package?

You watch their product legitimately. You may not pay anything for it but they still make money from it.

They don’t take your personal money, but that absolutely do get money from you. Probably quite a bit since you’re such an avid follower of the Premier League :hehe:
Re: Football is corrupt and rotten to the core
Anyway, can we stop talking about this now? Sludge, you have made it abundantly clear that you (think) you're not a fan of the PL and you think it has ruined football. I think we can all agree that the formation of the PL has brought far too much money and commercialism into the game, but the same could be said of practically every other business. Foreign money, greed, politics and corruption are rife. No one would argue with you on that front. It's a shame, but that's life. If it really bothers you as much as you say it does, I suggest you make every effort to ignore it.

Good luck with this.
