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.

Given your username I wouldn't expect such harsh sentiment about people who enjoy playing football. I would prefer my kids play a sport they enjoy than sit on an iPad all day. But I'm not a lifestyle guru.

European football is more about gambling, betting, and drug trafficking than about sport.

you don't think kids should play sports? that seems like an unusual view and am kind of curious why you would think that.

Kick a ball, throw a ball, hit a ball, jump over the ball, stick a ball somewhere. A ball, a stick, a ring, a board. I hate that football is the default sport and was forced myself to play it in my childhood.

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…

That's not right. Still expensive, but the dual abo for Sky Bundesliga + DAZN is 65€ per month.[1]

Best way to watch sports now is to go to a bar that broadcasts it. If you have a drink, it only costs you 5EUR/match. Maybe you watch 5-6 matches a month, so still cheaper than 100EUR/month and you get drinks and service included.

In the reddit there's a link to another article related and there's response from Laliga (If I got it right):

> Desde LaLiga también advierten que "aquellos clientes de Cloudflare que puedan sufrir bloqueos en sus webs, pueden dirigirse al email afectadoscloudflare@laliga.es con el fin de hacer llegar a Cloudflare que el contenido ilegal alojado en la IP de su misma web no tiene su autorización".

So they eventually made an email to report if you're being affected by their blocking.

>>Also the same in Germany. Just because you want something to be true to make your argument...doesn't make it true. Growth for memberships over the last few years are pretty strong especially in the under 16 age group with 9% yoy.[1] Attendance is also on a steady upwards trend.[2] The last EM also had new highs in viewership linear and streaming. As overall the non-linear media surrounding football is growing...[3]…

> Attendance is also on a steady upwards trend

> Professional sports in Germany attracted more fans than ever before in 2024; a trend not limited to just football.

Still doesn't give you the full Champions League.

I get where the leagues came from, but the result for the customers has been worse.

Utter nonsense.

It's about sport and community. Yeah, the Bulgarian football scene is dominated by the mafia and gambling, but that's the exception, not the norm.
