Do We Have A Moral Obligation As To Who We Buy Our TV Sports Package From? Empty Do We Have A Moral Obligation As To Who We Buy Our TV Sports Package From?

Post by Strongback Mon 23 Sep 2013, 11:17 am

I have been thinking about this for quite a while.  Should there be a place for morals in our decision making when it comes to who we give our TV money to.

If we look at boxing in this part of the world there are two TV companies: Sky and Box Nation.


Now, there are few of us that are keen on Boxing Promoters but if we take a step back further and look at the morals of the people we give money to should we be a bit more discerning?

What I am getting at is firstly who are the promoters most likely to give us a bang for our buck but also which TV broadcaster most aligns with our moral values.

When I was a kid if I walked into the house with a copy of the Sun I would have been beaten around the head with it.  Maybe that effected my sensibilities but to this day I do not like tabloid propaganda as dished out by the likes of Sky and the extended Murdock media network.  I just don't want to give that man my money.  


Should morals play a part in deciding how we watch sport,  in general and in our chosen sport boxing?

It's just sport. I will pay anybody to watch a fight if I really want to watch that fight and there's no other way. I'd pay a criminal to watch it, even if he'd nicked the fight off my Gran.

As for The Sun, that's different. If you chose to pay for The Sun, or any other tabloid, then you deserve to get your head filled up with drivel.

What are we meant to do without TV? What would all your furniture point out?

Without TV most peoples world would come crumbling down. And the lack of alternatives makes morals a side issue here.

It's like asking people if they feel guilty driving gas guzzling 4x4's on the school run.

Most people couldn't care less.

Seemed to be a lot less hassle when there were only 4 TV channels. Got to see a lot more boxing as well.

Homegrown TV Stations didn't have to dumb down to compete with Sky's 57 channels and nothing on.


The question is really do people even consider they are giving their money to a heinous dictator?

I do care about this because the sheilas can't drive the bloody things. Women should not be allowed on the roads between 7-10am and 4-7pm. If they have to move school hours to accomodate so be it.

There's no need to come rushing in beating your chest. Engage the brain on this one.

Given your choice who do you give your money to?

That isn't an issue for 4x4's though. Women can't drive any type of car.

Life isn't fair. Whether it is the pharmaceutical giants charging 6 figure sums for cancer treatments, or energy companies hiking their prices by 40% in 2 years we're always getting screwed.

The one consolation is that despite getting screwed pretty much everyone in this country has a shot. Can't be said of many places in the world.

People don't have to take it. They choose to take it.

I did work for a few pharmaceutical companies and in that time I encountered an irregularly high number of total assholes. There was a nasty undercurrent. I make money other ways now.


But do people think about where the money goes or do they just pay for sport and that's it because you have to?

But what are the viable alternative Strongy? Do Virgin and BT show sky channels? I think they do. What you are asking is for people to make themselves less happy so that a man whom they have never met does not profit from them.

I don't know the back drop to the Murdoch empire (phone hacking aside), what else has this mass child murderer (presumably given the level of hatred) done?

How far do you go with your moral crusade. Do we refuse to watch any hollywood film made my Time Warner of which Murdoch is an owner. Straight away we are denying ourselves sports and movies. Am no expert on the mans portfolio but would guess he owns one or more publishing houses so some books are also off the shelf for us entertainment wise.

Also if you are going to have this stance against Murdoch would need to be demonstrated his business practices are demonstrably worse than those of other major companies/businessmen otherwise would seem we are obliged to maintain the same stands against other organisations. Would not take you too long before your opinions in terms of what you do for food, entertainment and pretty much every facet of life would be limited.

Does make me wonder though Strongy if you refuse to line Murdoch's pockets one has to assume you do not have Sky, however your posts on here suggest you see pretty much every fight shown on it. Struggling to see how someone with such a strong sense of morality and right and wrong could achieve this.

I've always said to myself I wouldn't make money out of selling drink or gambling. Traditionally in my job I don't work for huge corporations, I have done a bit more of that in the last few years though due to things tightening up. I find the big companies terminally boring to deal with.


I'm not saying I haven't done work for some run of the mill rich douche bags but they are not the types who decide how the whole world should think.

I think my moral compass is ok. I'm polite and respectful to others, I treat all people equally (even retards), I've given up my seat on a train for a beautiful woman, I've saved a puppy from being burned alive, and I've never ever robbed or raped anybody.

But when it comes to paying to watch boxing it all goes out the window.

You only think that.
I think my moral compass is ok. I'm polite and respectful to others, I treat all people equally (even retards), I've given up my seat on a train for a beautiful woman, I've saved a puppy from being burned alive, and I've never ever robbed or raped anybody.

But when it comes to paying to watch boxing it all goes out the window.

As for The Sun, that's different. If you chose to pay for The Sun, or any other tabloid, then you deserve to get your head filled up with drivel.
Sky TV is coming from the same source.

I see the fights in a way he wouldn't like.

Never claimed to be a particularly moral man Top Hat, have Sky but as you know I refuse to buy boxnation. Do not stream their content. Managed to see the Mayweather fight solely because I was round a mates the day after and he said he had it recorded if I wanted to watch it.
