In the 21st century sports demand big fees and the only way they can be recovered is to charge subscribers, you get what you pay for pure and simple. I don’t like the system but that is the rules. Why a night GF? A few more points on the ratings chart for broadcasters all the other stated reasons are crap. On that subject I could see nothing about the night GF that was better than day time. Perhaps it is just habit but having to wait all day just seemed to dull the enjoyment when it finally started. But you can bet today or tomorrow the AFL will be gushing about it. I will be surprised if the day GF happens again. It is just one of many things that I don’t like about where sport has landed. Yes I am old and won’t be around much longer But to me not all change is for the better.
