Soccer free, but pay and under control

Multimedia in general, tend to tone down the reality according to their interests hungry and ambitious. While a few are the owners of a lot, we consumers, we are captives of private contracts, which companies and government do not know why strange reason, persist in calling public.

Reading a blog colleague, I comforted to see that these anti-folk arrangements and arbitrary, are not exclusive to the Argentine businessmen, and note that these weak and corrupt governments, handled everything, even football.

While in Argentina, no media-sports journalist can put goals on the screen matches before Sunday at 22 pm, hours of the "Football First" where he plays the date in the master channel of football in Spain call it "Football Free" to a transmission that costs 18 € a month (?) and offers a method like the ridiculous "Multipantalla".

Brand, in an attempt to rename the evil called "Football Free", was claiming the business, calling "The football world's cheapest," a show that should be everyone's and at the same time, Mr. Jaume Roures, Mediapro president said that "football should be beneficial to all, for clubs, for spectators and for Mediapro", but especially for Mediapro.

In Argentina, only the payment of the package called "Total Football" costs $ 25.80 (approximately 6 €) as my carrier and when we consider that an entry to the stadium around 24 "handles" to see those "dead", football television would not be so expensive.

The problem seems to be ignored by employers and the government, is that many can not afford it and those that do, they pay resigned, as in my case, because in addition, to see football from my chair, you must pay yes or yes for the basic service, which includes channels that go "fabulous firsts" as Jaws or Rocky.

As for profits, as is called Jaume Roures the business of televised football, crumbs for the clubs are rewarded by the transmissions. While the Argentine Football Association charge off the record 120 million per year for TV rights, River and Boca, they take a very small portion of that delicious cake, barely, some 11 million each.

That course I'm not against the business itself, not even pretend that I give away the compost to watch football, but I think that something that people born should be priced according to their origin, I mean football, but especially it must offer the unparalleled choice.

Thanks to how unfair it is that over the airwaves, in Argentina was opened against the fabulous blog of the ball business. The site, run by fans themselves, under the slogan "Football for All ', say journalists related to football and all agree on the desire to return to debate a law that provides for us all.

For now, we keep paying for what they took from us but remains "our", while I wonder, for who is the business ...
