Scrap the Premier League pay per view scheme

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Covid 19 has affects both physically and mentally for those who follow football and people in general, it helps bring back a bit more normality in these unprecedented times. However since the Premier League made games pay per view, season ticket holders or life long fans cannot watch all the games.

If this could be overturned, this would more than definitely make life far more bearable not only throughout the second lockdown, but throughout the foreseeable future. You also have to take in consideration job losses and pay cuts, leading yet again to people not being able to do the thing they love simply as they cannot afford to do so or from the expense. Something must be done otherwise we could see the 'beautiful game' dissolve into a rich mans sport. Thank you
