Sure thing push.
I personally think Sky is moving forward and these decision had to be made. Those that feel Sky is moving away from what they want are correct, they are moving into a new era and taking the majority of their subscribers and supporters with them. Those who are no long comfortable with their position on BLM/LGBQT/Gender Equality etc will be left behind.
The soccer saturday magic had to end at some point, it had been gradually declining as the novelty wore off and needed a fresh boost. The likes of Micah Richards and Clinton Morrison have huge followings, you may not think so because you are probably in a bubble of denial about the role of women or people of colour in the industry, but its true.

Are you one of these people who conflate social media with real life? Absolutely nothing wrong with Sky or any commercial organisation freshening something up. All I suggest most people ask for, certainly me is that decisions aren't based on immutable characteristics and identity, but ability and talent. Since Comcast have taken over it seems to me that their political agenda is a priority over commercial considerations. Let's see if the changes they make are based on ability or identity.

Missed it in all the posts, it was directly aimed at you push, I don't know you and you do seem reasonable so I won't assume. It is though my opinion and generalised view based off interactions on forums like this.
Good point ,perhaps worth emailing sky over the race diversity issues in that sport... strange how racism only works one way where when it's a tiny number of white representatives no one bats an eyelid. Aug 29, 2020 -- 6:51PM, Hamlin wrote:

Thanks for that Hamlin, I am glad your post was NOT directly aimed at me.
Be careful though, of not falling into the trap of the trolls on this forum - MJK is the worst example - in making unsubstantiated claims about other persons, without any supporting argument or evidence.
I assumed it was a sexual fetish for frying pans before googling it. 

did you know about non-binary pansexual 

Really is heavy stuff on the temples
