The BBC versus


Should the BBC strive to show all major sporting competitions that involve the Home Nations, at least on Freeview? Take the Ashes for example; shouldn't there be a large portion of licence fee money put aside to make sure that ordinary people can support their country without having to subscribe to Sky? The World Cup and Olympics are shown on the BBC, but we have to emphasise the fact that the BBC is a public service and its interests should be in encouraging people to get behind their country in important sporting achievements.

I mean, instead of showing below-par comedies or piling money into terrestrial travesties like 'The One Show' or Gaelic documentaries that only 0.00000000001% of the population can understand, why doesn't the BBC realise that it would be better to show sporting events that the entire population can get behind?

Remember, this is the same BBC that spends £54m on its highest earning stars. Here's an idea, let's put a bullet through Matt Lucas and David Walliams and get the cricket and some Premiership or even FA Cup games on the box. Deal?
