None of what's going on with live sports TV rights is "real," it's just the death throes of TV networks. They're overpaying out the rear end for sports because sports are the only appointment viewing that still exists. It's quite literally the only programming keeping their business model alive. It's why Sky can pay more and more for the Premier League when their Premier League ratings keep going down. The idea that this could continue long-term is just laughable.

That and Sky are shifting the cost more and more onto pubs who can't afford not to show football. Many of these pubs are barely making money as is so this will be another thing that will eventually have to give
