I can’t believe this is happening for the second week in a row. Supersport is failing to televise majority of the Currie Cup games.
What is the use of having so many channels available, then not using them to televise premiere sporting events in the country. Events that the majority of DSTV/Supersport subscribers support.
Not only is it totally unfair to supporters of the unions whose games are not being televised, it is unfair to the players in those games who are not receiving the necessary coverage to help their careers grow to it’s full potential.
The various unions complain that the ticket sales aren’t good enough, of that not enough merchandise is sold, but why should the fans support them in those areas if they don’t push to support the loyal fans at the most basic level, in making certain that every game is televised.
If Supersport aren’t interested in growing SA rugby to it’s fullest potential then the rights to televise those games should be forfeited to SABC free of charge. That way at least the fans don’t suffer and are at least getting their money’s worth in subscription fees.
Is anyone out there as upset as I am about this? What should be done about it?
I completely agree.
Super Sport is more like Selective Sport.
I understood Super Sport were aware of the complaints by what must have been thousands of angry supporters across the country. You would think they would do something about it. Instead of just televising them later on in the week.
If anyone knows any more about this please let us know?
