The weird part of this argument is the "fans" actively gatekeeping their sport
Higher ratings = more people watched = more $$$ for Seven = helps the sport remain on FTA
(Also why pro-twilight can't articulate the benefits & say ratings instead of people is another weird thing)
"If the AFL loses to the NRL Grand Final for the next two years, it will have been a mistake!"
After rugby league won the TV ratings battle with its 2025 decider, could the AFL's decision to stick with a day Grand Final prove costly? #AFL360
Test cricket should be thought of like a concert - there’s no minimum amount of songs, just as long as we’re entertained.
We don’t get any guarantees for a tennis match or a fight, we buy the ticket in hope
Over rates are there to help the game move along; it hurtled today
It’s pretty clear now that nobody truly cares about over rates in Test cricket. 19 wickets, yes…. But 72 overs in 6.5 hours is a bit ridiculous. @SEN_Cricket
@pad_nauseum@NicNegrepontis In which case I would be fucking ropable that my reputation has so publicly been called into question, particularly Meredith and Fleer as leading umpires
@pad_nauseum@NicNegrepontis Quite a bit of power for trainers to be able to stop play, which would of course never be misused 😉
If that's the case, then the umpires adjudicated this situation correctly? Ball didn't go near the player and "they [trainers]" never asked for a stretcher?
Still find it odd you can’t get a live stream of red carpet arrivals. Marquee evening for the sport and one of the rare chances to appeal to a wider demo #BrownlowMedal
My favourite thing about the Winter Olympics is that they set the entire thing in snow then call off every event as soon as it actually snows #Beijing2022
@jayrigdon5 Nah quite the opposite, appreciated your review wasn't straining to elevate the doco to some exalted level as others have done, probably due to his sporting greatness or his sad circumstances. It was a good piece of work and a well-told story
