In Italy something similar is happening: they have split the football game rights among different competitors, so that if you want to watch every game you have to spend >100€ monthly (that's very high for our economy). To this, add the facts that there has been a major hit to illegal streaming piracy and that football games are getting extremely boring in our country (compared to the Premier League or our Serie A of…

So it looks like a self resolving problem? As a bonus football hooligans and football vandalism will disappear, and hopefully kids will be encouraged to do more creative activities than kicking a ball.

Mobile users should remove old from the url [0]. The old Reddit website does not load properly on my mobile device.

Old Reddit loads perfectly fine for me on iOS.

What OS are you on and what is the specific problem you see when you try to load this Old Reddit link from OP?

On the other hand kids (and adults) not getting enough exercise is a modern health crisis. More kids kicking a ball would be significant improvement over current status quo of kids staring at brainrot.

I agree with all you said except the last part.

Sport is good and team sport is better. A "lifestyle guru" should know that. Kicking a ball is maybe the lowest entry barrier sport in many countries. I'm from latin america and here you grow playing fútbol. Find a ball, gather your friends and you're ready to go.

On the other hand, Serie A started streaming all matches free on YouTube for SEA countries. https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1nf7ghg/serie_a_ann...

So only a VPN is needed?

For me it's much the opposite, I even use an extension on iOS Safari to redirect "www.reddit.com" to "old.reddit.com".
