I was a backer of strong laws, up until the rugby case study, or fiasco. Now I think it doesn’t matter.
Rugby was popular, and not covered under anti-siphoning rules. Fox paid millions, and put it behind their paywall.
Now, after several years, nobody gives a shit about rugby, the Fruit & Nut Wallabies are a joke, and rugby has reversed course and now has games on FTA.
Other sports have taken note.
We have such a small population (market size) with so many sports (products) that making it only available via pay to watch is a very dangerous game (price sensitive).
Honestly, I find it hard to get too worked up about any of this. It’s just sport - and while I watch plenty of it I wouldn’t be too cut up if I had to stop watching. There’s other free content available. Some of it is probably more interesting TBH. Especially compared to most rugby matches.
