Had a few idle moments so fired off my standard contribution to
Sky Sports Complaints about the Sunday Suppository
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been a Sky Sports subscriber for over 20 years (currently via NOW TV) but after this month no longer.
I am cancelling after watching this morning's latest example of you rolling out the welcome mat for journalists linked heavily with US owned clubs.
Miguel Delaney is a well-known Liverpool supporter, Jonathan Liew a lifelong Spurs & Arsenal fan and Charlotte Dunker the former Manchester United correspondent for Goal. As a Manchester City season ticket holder for over 40 years your constant negative coverage of my club over the past decade has proved increasingly tiresome and since the US takeover is now actively prejudicial. (Delaney in particular has made a career from his serial Man City attacks and Liew is following the same path.)
No surprise that you are the client media of choice for American PL club owners after awarding you the contract to broadcast their games. You do not disappoint them and play a full part in pumping out their relentless and openly racist 'cheating Arab oil club' narratives about my team.
It is in truth a succession of confections designed solely to inflict reputational damage on a competitor in a vain effort to protect their income streams. 'State ownership'' followed by ''Financial Doping" followed by "Sportswashing" followed by "115 Charges" - what next I wonder?
Yet more integrity-free, utterly biased broadcasting on your part it seems but at least no longer paid for by me.
Yours sincerely,
