Absolutely this. They wanted to be quick off the mark with something performative and completely misjudged it. There is nothing fundamentally disrespectful about holding a football match, and other sports are showing quite clearly that you can show respect whilst not grinding everything to a halt. Baffling stuff. Think other sports have probably now seen what a ****show this is and decided to do the opposite.

I'm getting even more suspicious now, after he was pulled up on lying to her a few years ago, when he met her, she looked well then two days later she's dead and in less than 24 hours he's written a speech that hasn't embarrassed the government and has redeemed his reputation slightly. I'm just thinking as he's not been seen or heard of for a couple of months he plotting his revenge, return in a script.

Garethjohn79 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 SKY's NFL channel showed highlights from last night and included advert breaks, now I'm not sure if it waited for the advert embargo to lift before showing it or not. But what would be worse in a full game on Sunday? the NFL with its advert breaks every 5 minutes, a cut to the studio and do what BT did at the United game, or a blank UKTV screen?
