IS IT A FAIR GAME?
The estate owners, either for pheasants, grouse or deer and fox, with some having convictions, can still commit crimes against nature. At the same time football/soccer at national level struggles for ‘fair play’ as the wildlife has to do too. Is this about the class divide?
It’s the same with the hunters. They kill because they can and enforcement is never strong enough. There can never be a reason for ‘cubbing’,which is illegal anyway. Never mind the killing of birds of prey and the insidious laying down of poison bait. In either case the public at large struggle to contain those in power. It is no wonder that we see protestors and if it was not for The SABS the hunts would do as they want without restriction.
Isn’t this what happens when those with power do what they want.
This from Fair Game:
It looks like the Premier League’s deal for financial redistribution with the EFL may once again have hit a last-minute snag. At last count this is the sixth time we have been promised a deal only for it to falter at the final hurdle.
This time, as The Times reported this week, it seems that Premier League clubs are split on how much each of them should contribute.
Even then the deal on the table is not without its issues – the proportion on offer is far less than the 25% the EFL are after; parachute payments are maintained; the split between EFL divisions does not marry up to average attendances of those divisions; no money for the National League divisions; the abolition of FA Cup replays; no recognition of well-run clubs; a merit rake that encourages higher spending on players’ wages; and more games for Premier League Under-23 sides in the Football League Trophy.
Enough is enough. The Government has long-stated that the incoming IREF should have backstop powers to oversee football’s financial flow. It’s time the government ended this farce and made a cast-iron guarantee that the IREF will have those powers. In the meantime, we’d be more than happy to set a short-term deal!
