New Premier League domestic TV deal

Quoted from Poojah

I dunno. In the context of music, I’m probably the equivalent of your armchair football fan. I like music, I enjoy listening to it, and I listen to it a good few hours a day. All via Spotify. The only thing that’s changed in that regard is that it’s now Spotify instead of Napster, and it was Napster instead of CDs, and before that cassettes and vinyl records, and not because vinyl was cool back then - I just inherited them (and a record player) off my older sister.

I very much doubt the people who are devoted to live music, as we are to live football, will be swayed massively by the digitisation of the art form. Because for them, it’s the purest, richest way to enjoy music. Just like football in the flesh is to us.

Every form of entertainment has its day. We've grown up and digital music came along when we were young so we lapped it up. Go back far enough though and there was a lot of opposition to the gramophone, "they" (i.e. the older generations) said it would run music. The cinema would ruin theatre etc etc they claimed but the young always embrace new technology. In a sense the concert hall and the theatre have been turned into niche activities, young people just prefer their replacements and they become the norm for the next generation. Sport like anything else doesn't sit still, it moves with the audience. Cricket has all but reinvented itself.  Football has changed immensely over the last 20 years and will keep changing.

Change is inevitable, but progress isn't.

Nobody is disputing the changes, it's the progress - or otherwise - that's the issue here.

Shrugging your shoulders and uttering "well, things change" is why we have a climate crisis (and many other issues).

If the Sky deal is bigger will our league 2 payment rise.
