A painfully sad piece to read. theguardian.com/society/2026…
SL and NRL and grand finals are mega events. Makes the ‘prem’ look like a joke event time after times. Cancel southerners.
There isn’t a single sport that’s in a better position now than 10 years ago. The commercialisation of everything and the substance of nothing. Empty vessels floating along to the benefit of ultra rich people. Society is dead. Nihilism is alive.
Cricket wanting franchise leagues all year round.
Tennis wanting to reduce 5 set matches to 3 sets.
Rugby wanting to host six nation matches abroad.
Sport is losing its integrity and tradition all in the pursuit of money and attracting casual fans who don’t really like the sport in the first place 👎🏻👎🏻
The Ranieri thing (half fair), the Maresca thing was obviously insane but people really don’t realise Rodgers is part of the reason where we are now. The true devil.
