Make Sport Free on TV

The BBC have lost their grip on sports rights on TV, most football, cricket, rugby, and Formula One events are now locked behind a paywall. This is not fair. Showing sport free on TV will get a massive audience and can motivate generations to come, it can also bridge the gap of income inequality.

This petition was rejected on 30th Mar 2023 for not being a Government or Parliamentary matter

The Petition Committee commented:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about what sporting events to broadcast are a matter for individual broadcasters, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Making companies such as Sky and BT give up the matches they do not show (especially lower league matches, League 1 and 2), it will boost the revenue for so many clubs, clubs that area really struggling. We have seen the massive rise in Women's football, this is thanks to free viewing, if sport is free, people will watch it, and it will only benefit both the clubs and the people. We need to make sport free on TV.
