Sky keep NRL.
great news.
The missing sport in that article is A-league football, which is headed to paramount+ in Australia (ViacomCBS made the A-league a cornerstone of the service ahead of its upcoming launch in August).
‘not sure exactly when skys current rights for a league expire.
Current rights go to the end of 2022 I believe.
They go for 5 years at a time like rugby if I am not mistake.
So, at a minimum, we have NZRU until the end of 2025 and NRL until the end of 2027.
Awesome that both of these important rights are staggered and don’t come up for negotiation around the same time.
I am wondering about the future of both Union and League. Many families will be considering pretty carefully whether little Johnny/Mary should be playing them. I got concussed pretty badly when I was a kid, my Dad stopped me playing rugby…until I got to Varsity and knew better….
'Civilised society' hasn't evolved as much as we might like to think.
I for one quite enjoy watching to big blokes punch each other in the head, hopefully ending in knock out. It is so primitive, but I like it.
And for UFC...in my experience the women fights are often the most vicious! Nothing quite like watching two dangerous-looking broads beat the crap out of each other!
