Surely Sky are the PL's paymasters, not the other way around?

Titus Bramble
Best centre half to grace the Premier League
That reporter is having to face up to the decisions made over his head. Fair play to him for taking to Twitter.
But the reasons just don’t wash. You're just as likely to hear naughty words being picked up at Goodison as you are at any other football ground, regardless of the circumstances. If that’s their fear, there’ll be no reporting/commentary from a stadium ever again. Doesn’t seem likely to me.
Sky didn’t have the rights to the game. Not a problem. But are there any other games where they’ve decided to post their reporter outside of the relevant city as a result? Again, I doubt it. Just report from the Sky studio, Soccer Saturday style.
Maybe I'm reading too much into things, but Sky are certainly giving the impression that they’re doing their level best to show support to their cash cow: the PL. But what they’re actually doing is alienating your every day, run of the mill football fan, without who they wouldn’t have a product to sell.
Bonkers.

Very clear now there is a editorial decision not to focus on the corruption. Don't want to knock the fans who attend all matches but the corrupt cards need to be used smarter and more randomly. It's obvious cameras are told look elsewhere.

This is the thing. They want to, and generally gave, sanitise football. No swearing, no aggression, just pretty passing and the big teams winning all the time, with the occasional win for a small team hailed as showing the unpredictability of the best league in the world. Goodison however thrives on the aggressive atmosphere and always has.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Naughty words.. Do the mods on GOT have jobs with Sky? Holy sith it's fuppen censorship.

They can dub all that out for the most part. There is no doubt that its been brought into family viewing, some of the aggression needed to go to be honest damn wrong some of it. Its generally monopolized by certain clubs, howevver, thats a very British thing to do and where the viewership is at .
Fundamentally this all goes back to Premier League they set the rules its them who knocked 10 points off us. Sky can be accused of looking after themselves dont believe they are in cahoots with EPL.
Suppose be interesting to hear from viewers of streams and fans abroad if protest is resonating through to their TV experience.

To be honest it's not rocket science. They don't want to tarnish the image and that'll include any bad mouthing of the brand. For Everton fans it's about keeping it out there and making it visible. Dyche's buzz word, 'noise' mustn't go away even though there are clear signs of muffling.

I guess when sky start choosing there televised games for the upcoming months we will be on TV less than normal.
Did sky bother about " naughty words" when one of the sly 6, got a premier league match stopped. No they revelled in it, desperate to show Man United fans side to it. All our protests have been organised and peaceful, Sky are just jumping to the tune of their paymasters, the Premier League. They don't realise or don't care, they are making themselves look as corrupt as the Premier league.

If I remember correctly a flare got thrown at Spitty when United supporters broke into the stadium. Souness had a right rant about it being a near death experience. But of course Everton are portrayed as the violent ones

Symbiotic relationship. Sky's whole business model is now built on subscribers built on the footy. They're co-dependent.

Would it do any good if the corrupt cards were held up along the
length of the F E, they would be facing the t v gantry, just a thought like.

Said that a few weeks ago. Also if the companies using the boxes don’t mind, stick one on every window of the boxes. The box users are mostly anonymous anyway.
Need a massive drone based projector to emblazon it all over the centre circle, and follow the ball all over the pitch.
