Rejected petition Intervention in Sky Sports' anti consumer pay per view tier for Premier League

We the British consumer public demand government intervention to prevent Sky Sports from making some Premier League football games pay per view on top of the already extortionate fees from November.

More details

We, the British consumer find Sky Sports move anti consumer and see this as profiteering from the global COVID pandemic. It is unfair to ask paying customers to pay an additional fee to watch select premier league games where the government has banned in person attendance during a time of economic hardship. This is market cornering. We also ask that the British public boycott Sky Sports completely until they reverse this decision.
